gin review: Boomsma Genever

the official line:
Boomsma Geneva is one of Boomsma’s oldest products. Since centuries geneva is the most popular drink in Holland. This pure geneva is distilled according to a secret family-recipe since 1883. It is a double distilled Geneva made from a blend of 100 % pure grainalcohol and grainwine. This Geneva is made without using any artificial additives. Light and elegant in taste with a subtle flavour of juniper berries, coriander and a hint of citrus. Best served well chilled or on the rocks.


Dutch gin seems to have developed in parallel with the British variety, while maintaining its own identity.

I dig it.
It holds its own in a G&T, light and fruity but with a strong finish. It's very fresh tasting and smells intriguing. Like gin, but slightly different.

At 16 bucks it's priced competitively with midrange gins like Beefeater, and I'll be adding it to my regular rotation. A top drawer beverage.
