Tasting notes
The juniper berry provides the characteristic taste of jenever: fresh bitter, slightly spicy. In collaboration with the Drentse Jeneverbesgilde, we pick these ourselves every year on the Drentse heath. Sandalwood has a warm, woody and spicy flavor. It has notes of vanilla, amber and a hint of smoke. It can also have slightly sweet, earthy and floral undertones. Laurel is an evergreen shrub or tree with glossy, dark green leaves and aromatic properties. It is often used in cooking for flavorful dishes and also has symbolic meanings, such as victory and wisdom. Iris root is the rhizome of the iris plant. Iris root has a pleasant scent and is used as an ingredient in perfumes, potpourri and sachets.
