In the Glass
Appearance
Brilliant, crystal clear.
Aromatics
The nose is very unctuous and malty with scents of grains in the lead supported by hints of roasted nuts and spices (coriander and subtle caraway notes) with soft citrus and juniper accents.
Flavor
The palate echoes the nose delivering a lush and silky texture that gives life to the toasted spice core with the caraway really accentuated.
Intensity & Texture
Full-bodied with a rich, nearly chewy, malty, and grain core supported by bright juniper, spice, and notes of hazelnut.
Cool Factor
For the Gin lover it does not get much cooler than a unique Genever from a great Dutch craft distiller. This is a very versatile product that inspires new drinks with every sip.
Value Grade
The Rutte Gins are not cheap but that's not the point. These are true artisan products and I am confident the Gin lovers will find these Gins to be worth every penny.
Analysis
Rutte is the smallest distillery in Holland that happens to be partnered with one of the nation's largest distilleries, De Kuyper Royal Distillers. For 143 years Rutte has made its home in the historic port city of Dordrecht, The Netherlands. Their artisanal spirits are made entirely with natural ingredients. The Rutte Old Simon Genever offers a unique flavor profile that includes roasted nuts among the botanicals.
How to Enjoy
This rich and silky Genever is perfect with the best tonic or citrus soda that you can find. Perfectly satisfying and refreshing.
