Tasting Notes

Nose

Maltiness with candied ginger and lemongrass — juniper and almonds, the Indonesian heritage immediately present in every waft

Palate

Soft oatmeal from the malt spirit — fresh citrus with toasted hazelnut, fiery ginger and cubeb pepper, bold character with rich juniper, the grandfather's Indonesian recipe meeting 7th-generation Dutch precision

Finish

Medium length with tingling sharpness — warming pepper from the cubeb and ginger, the Dutch-Indonesian cultural bridge persisting to the last sip

Expert Review

8/10

Grandfather's 1950 Indonesian spice recipe meets a 7th-generation Schiedam master distiller — four percent malt spirit with lemongrass, ginger, cardamom and cubeb pepper. No additives, no sugar. The grandson discovered Bobby's original bottle and two years of tinkering created this tribute. Soft oatmeal, fresh citrus, fiery ginger with tingling cubeb warmth.
