Description
Experience the exquisite craftsmanship of Van Wees Mirakel van Amsterdam Genever, a distinguished genever that transports you to the rolling fields of the Netherlands with each sip. This 50cl bottle embodies a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, developed by the esteemed A. van Wees de Ooievaar.
Delight in its captivating tasting notes that gracefully unfold like a spring morning:
- Nose: A vibrant bouquet of fresh juniper, bright lemon peel, and subtle pine needles, enriched with gentle spices such as pepper and cloves.
- Palate: Dry yet spicy, revealing layers of warm cinnamon and clove spices, complemented by nutty oak and hints of delicate white grape and apple fruitiness.
- Finish: A lingering, smooth finale characterized by a peppery olive oil touch amidst dry clove-spiced oak, leaving a memorable impression on the palate.
With its intriguing origins rooted in ancient Emmerwheat, this genever is distilled five times with an array of juniper berries and herbs, and then beautifully aged for two years.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of Oude Genever consider the following practical recommendations:
- Temperature: Store Oude Genever at a stable cool room temperature ideally between 12°C to 20°C (54°F to 68°F). Avoid refrigeration unless preferred for serving as prolonged chilling is not necessary for preserving quality.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight and strong artificial light as UV rays can degrade the spirit and alter its flavor. A dark or opaque storage area is best or use a brown or opaque bottle which some Oude Genevers are sold in to mitigate light damage.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed with its original cork or cap to prevent oxidation and evaporation. Once opened reseal immediately after use to limit air exposure which can impact freshness over time.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright. Unlike wine Oude Genever contains spirits that can degrade corks if kept in contact so standing bottles upright prevents corks from drying out and minimizes cork contamination.
- Humidity: Maintain a moderate humidity level around 50-70% in the storage environment to preserve the integrity of the cork and prevent it from shrinking or molding especially if stored long-term.
- Special Storage Tips for Oude Genever:
- Since Oude Genever is aged in oak barrels and contains a significant malt wine base it is relatively stable but should avoid temperature fluctuations that might cause expansion and contraction of the liquid resulting in spoilage.
- For opened bottles consume within a reasonable timeframe (1-2 years) to enjoy optimum flavor as oxidation will gradually reduce quality over long periods.
- Avoid freezing Oude Genever as very low temperatures can dull its complex aroma and flavor profile.
These guidelines will help maintain the quality and shelf life of your Oude Genever whether unopened or partially consumed.
