van Wees of A.van Wees Distillery de Ooievaar, Driehoekstraat, Jordaan, Amsterdam,
Holland. |

Founded in 1782, A.van Wees claim to be
the last authentic distiller left in Amsterdam. Right up until 1970 they were still
delivering to commercial outlets in casks. Still run by family descendents the commercialism of mass production is shunned to preserve their
authentic and cultural Dutch heritage. |

Red, blue and black berries are macerated before being distilled. While the distillery isn't open to visitors, they have a restaurant and tasting room called “De Admiraal” in Herengracht, Amsterdam - ideal for visiting and acquainting oneself with their range of products. |

On the nose is a strong and powerful aroma
of dark fruit. Slightly sweet, on the palate is a strong berry taste. This is a very different type of Genever and is referred to as Bessen (or Berry) Genever. It is a good tipple by itself and is a perfect pairing to a fruit and cheese platter. This old style berry genever is well worth a tasting. |
