Taste the Netherlands' national spirit – a clear, juniper-flavored liquor that's the predecessor to gin. Traditional jenever is served neat in a tulip-shaped glass filled to the brim, requiring you to lean over and sip without using your hands. Try both oude (old) and jonge (young) varieties at a traditional proeflokaal (tasting house) to understand the subtle differences in flavor and production methods.
