Description
Indulge in the sophisticated allure of Van Wees Roggenaer Rogge Genever 3yr, a remarkable expression of Dutch heritage crafted with precision and care. This exquisite genever, aged for three years, unfolds a sensory journey reminiscent of sun-kissed rye fields. Its flavor profile is subtly enhanced with hints of spice and a grounding earthiness, making each sip a quiet yet profound experience.
This genever stands out with its enticing bouquet of aromas, featuring:
- Balsa wood
- Subtle anise
- Fresh coriander
- Mint
- Gentle spice and herbal complexity
The palate is a silky embrace of flavors where spiced rye dances gracefully with undertones of clove and herbs, leading to a smooth, lightly smoky finish. This exceptional genever concludes with a warm mouthfeel characterized by:
- Gentle rye spice
- Subtle herbal complexity
- Soft, lingering finish
The short description encapsulates its quintessential nature: A warm whisper of aged rye, a palette of freshly baked bread and a silky, mellow embrace facilitated by three years of aging in oak casks. This spirit is not just a beverage; it's a celebration of tradition that invites introspection rather than spectacle.
For an optimal tasting experience, serve chilled in a tall, tulip-shaped glass or enjoy it neat to fully appreciate its complexity. Additionally, explore these serving suggestions:
- On the rocks
- Mixed with tonic, soda, or cola
- With a few drops of bitters in an old-fashioned glass for a pink gin style
- As part of a Kopstoot, which is a ritualistic neat serving alongside beer
To maintain the integrity and quality of your Van Wees Roggenaer Rogge Genever, follow these storage guidelines:
- Store at a consistent, cool temperature between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F).
- Keep the bottle in a dark environment, away from sunlight and strong artificial light.
- Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed with its original cork or cap.
- Store the bottle upright to minimize cork contact with the alcohol.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of Genever including types aged around 3 years adhere to the following practical guidelines to best preserve quality and shelf life:
- Temperature: Store at a consistent cool temperature ideally between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F). Avoid exposure to extreme heat or cold as this can adversely affect the flavor profile and integrity of the spirit.
- Light exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark environment away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light. Light exposure can degrade the chemical components altering aroma and taste.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is always tightly sealed with its original cork or cap. This prevents oxidation which can lead to loss of volatile aromas and flavor deterioration. After opening reseal promptly and consider using a secondary airtight seal or vacuum stopper for extended storage.
- Bottle position: Store the bottle upright. This prevents prolonged contact between the alcohol and the cork which could damage the cork and allow air ingress accelerating spoilage.
- Humidity: Maintain a moderate relative humidity around 50-70% to avoid cork drying out (if cork-sealed). Too low humidity can cause cork shrinkage and air entry but excessively high humidity is not critical for spirits stored upright.
- Special considerations for opened bottles: Once opened limit exposure to air by capping tightly. Determine consumption time accordingly as prolonged open storage can lead to slow oxidation and flavor loss over time. If not consumed within several months consider transferring to smaller bottles to minimize air contact.
These practices apply equally to both unopened and opened bottles to ensure the Genever’s malt and oak-aged character remains intact over months to years. Avoid refrigeration or freezing as excessive cold can impact flavor stability.
