Hoppe Jonge Jenever is originally an Amsterdam gin that is still made according to traditional methods. Malt wine is mixed with the distillates of juniper berries. This gives this jenever a delicious slightly spicy flavour.
Extra information
Hoppe's history goes back to the second half of the 18th century, when Pieter Hoppe took over a wine shop in Amsterdam. A few years later, he also established a liqueur distillery and a distillery.
Hoppe grew so fast that it was decided to expand with a new building on the Nieuwe Haven in Schiedam, which was completed in 1858. This is where the famous Hoppe gin was distilled and, until 1979, the "Nightcap" liqueur.
More information
Jenever, also called genever, jonkie or klare, is a traditional strong drink originating in the Netherlands and Belgium. The drink is made by distilling a grain mash and using botanical herbs. The most famous herb used is, of course, juniper. Other herbs that can be used are: St John's wort, angelica root, nutmeg, cloves, aniseed, citrus peel and coriander.
History
The history of genever in the Netherlands dates back to the 16th and 17th centuries. The emergence of the alcoholic delicacy is linked to the emergence of distillation techniques and the use of grain as a base for spirits. Distillation of grain was originally introduced to Europe by the Arabs. In Europe, the process was refined during the Middle Ages. This led to production of brandy.
Distillation was initially used mainly for medicinal purposes, such as distilling wine and herbs to make extracts and tinctures. Many herbs and fruits were usually added. Around 1650 in Amsterdam, a grain distillate was designed with juniper as a remedy for muscle pain. People soon discovered that the drink could be used not only as a medicine, but also as a stimulant. Moreover, at the time, the import of brandy was prevented, so people switched to the local alcoholic drink: jenever.
