Van Wees Loyaal Very Old Genever

Genever | NV | 42% | 70 cl | Netherlands

Amsterdam’s old stills distill this spirit from malted grains, then coax it through years of slow oak rest—a delicate crescendo of sunlit wheat fields, damp pine, and the faintest brush of tobacco leaf. Pour it, and the air grows weighty with coriander’s bite and citrus peel, yet sips unfold like softened wood, wildflower honey, and a quiet, spicy hum lingering at the edges. This is not just a drink; it’s a breath of Dutch soil, barrel, and tradition, suspended in glass—inviting curiosity, not nostalgia.

Storage advice

For optimal storage of Oude Genever whether unopened or opened consider the following practical guidelines:

- Temperature: Store Oude Genever at a stable cool temperature ideally between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F). Avoid temperature fluctuations as they can degrade the quality. While it can be served chilled storage at room temperature is best for preservation.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light. Light exposure can cause chemical reactions that alter flavor and color. Use dark glass bottles or store in a dark place to minimize light damage.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed with its original closure to prevent oxidation which can cause deterioration of flavors and aromas. For opened bottles reseal immediately after pouring to limit air exposure.

- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright. Unlike wines with corks spirits like Oude Genever do not benefit from horizontal storage because the cork can dry out and allow unwanted air ingress. Upright storage helps maintain seal integrity.

- Humidity: Moderate humidity (around 50-70%) is appropriate to prevent labels from deteriorating and corks from drying although since genever typically uses screw caps or synthetic stoppers this is less critical than for cork-sealed wines.

- Special Storage Tips: Being a malt wine-based spirit with some aging Oude Genever is relatively shelf-stable if sealed properly. However once opened prolonged exposure to air may slowly change the taste so consume within a reasonable time frame. Avoid storing near strong odors as the spirit can absorb them through the closure.

In summary preserve Oude Genever by keeping it in a cool dark place tightly sealed and upright with moderate humidity to best retain its quality over time.
