Around 1800, Hubert Nolet started a partnership with Carolus J. Blankenheym, then mayor of Rotterdam, whose family owned a distillery since 1714. This old Genever is 'double-beid', which means that it has been prepared with a double quantity of Juniper berries. 'Beien' (Dutch) is an old expression that is still used in the distillery branche. The fresh Juniper aroma, combined with a balanced herbal sprit based on malt wine and grain alcohol, gives a powerful, tasty and soft Genever.
