Explore the Essence of Jenever

The illustrious name jenever derives from the Dutch word for the juniper berry, known as jeneverbes, which is a key ingredient in its production. Historically, juniper berries were utilized to mask the less palatable flavors found in the earliest forms of gin, which were distilled from malt wine and lacked the sophisticated techniques that define modern distillation.
