Lightly Toasted Walnut HalfOlifant Jonge Graanjevever Description
Olifant Jonge Graanjevever from J.J Melchers Wz Distillery is a refined Dutch jonge jenever that masterfully blends juniper, green tea, cedar, and nutty notes to create a distinctly woody, herbal, and earthy flavor profile. This clear spirit offers a subtle yet complex palate with an oily texture, where the piney juniper gradually takes center stage alongside delicate hints of black olives and spice. Rooted in tradition since 1841, Olifant combines elegance with a warm, lingering finish that reflects its rich heritage and craftsmanship.

Add a few large ice cubes to maintain a slow dilution, preserving the spirit's earthy character.
Top with 10 cl of Sanpellegrino Tonica Oakwood, whose subtle oak extract complements the genever's cedar and green tea botanicals.
Gently stir to integrate the flavors.
Garnish with a lightly toasted walnut half, enhancing the nutty undertones of the drink.
