Rutte
Rutte Old Simon Genever is named after the producer's founder, Simon Rutte. Old Simon comprises a generous two-fifths malt wine with three-fifths grain alcohol-infused and re-distilled with juniper berries and 13 other botanicals. Rutte has a long history; recipes have been passed on from generation to generation. Whereas the industry was looking for cheaper methods and materials during the last century, this ‘innovation’ completely passed by the Rutte family. And that’s a good thing because it means old recipes and craftsmanship have been preserved. Even though the distillery has not been in the hands of the Rutte family since the 1990s, the tradition is kept alive and the company stills follow the same unique distilling process as ancestor Simon did in his days.
