Creamer than it is malty. The 35% abv is noticeable at first on account of the lighter mouthfeel which builds as an oiliness enters mid-palate. Juniper is restrained & aside from the vanilla, it is not until the slightly spicy finish that the botanicals assert dominance over the moutwijn. This spiciness is well received, & adds bite to a spirit that might head too far down the sweet avenue with both moutwijn & vanilla contributing. The ingredients are crystal clear Hunzedal spring water, a hefty dose of 10% quadruple distilled malt wine, & the finest wheat alcohol you can find. This product is fully crafted in Schiedamwithout any additives or sugars.
