Old Simon Genever
Simon Rutte is the founder of our distillery, and the recipe for Old Simon Genever was created by the man himself. Old Simon Genever contains a number of typical genever botanicals, such as juniper berries, as well as ingredients that highlight Simon’s unique creativity, such as walnuts, hazelnuts and celery.

Did you know
More malt wine is not always better. With subtle botanicals like roasted nuts, the malt wine would overpower the flavor of the nuts. At Rutte, therefore, we always look for the perfect balance, between the flavor of grain on the one hand and botanicals on the other.
