Van Wees Bessen Jenever Bay Gin, 70 cl

An excellent drink although the Amazon product description is somewhat misleading.• An old-fashioned berry geneva• Very pale straw colour with fine slow legs• Slightly sweet to emphasise the sour flavour of the berriesIt would help if someone knew how to spell Jeneva.Pale straw colour? it looks like Ribina.Slightly sweet? it’s very sweet.As for the “fine slow legs” ? ? ? ?My son mixes a small tot in to brut Champagne.

First tasted this at a gin pairing dinner in the 'now you can try any gin you want' phase of the evening (always a dangerous time!). For me, it tastes like a cross between a rich port and a cream sherry. I'd say it's heavier on the port side than the sherry, and is very yummy indeed. I'd be happy serving it as a pre dinner tipple or with a cheeseboard.

Ordered Friday afternoon and arrived on Saturday morning. Now that's what I call prompt service thank you.This is a wonderful Dutch flavoured gin and will be enjoyed over the festive period.

This was quite disgusting, having had Coebergh before was expecting something similar, but the colour, smell and taste are so different it is really unpleasant, shame really...
