Herbs and spices

The geographical location of our jenever distillery determines the unique flavours. Each jenever contains a unique selection of the finest regional herbs from the Hooghoudtherb garden on the Ewsum estate. Classic monastery herbs such as nettle leaf, blessed thistle herb and orange peel bitter give our gins a fine, soft taste. In addition, spice supplier Jacob Hooy supplies the best natural herbs to complement our regional herbs. Jacob Hooy has been synonymous with craftsmanship and quality since 1743.
