Genever

Netherlands/Belgium

Gin's Dutch/Belgian ancestor, made with a malt-wine base (giving it a maltier, whisky-adjacent character), less juniper-forward than modern London Dry gin, and generally considered the historical link between whisky and gin.

Profile

Maltier, whisky-adjacent, less juniper-forward.

Genever with North Sea seafood traditions reflects genuine historical pairing logic.
