  Genever - The Webtender Wiki
Jenever (also known as Genever or Jeniever), juniper-flavored and strongly alcoholic, is the traditional liquor of the Netherlands and Flanders, from which gin has evolved.
Jenever was originally produced by distilling maltwine (moutwijn in dutch) to 50% ABV.
Jenever is often drunk with cold lager beer as a chaser; this is sometimes referred to as a kopstoot ("headbutt").

  Jenever - Wikipedia
In cafés wordt jenever traditioneel geserveerd in een borrelglas, een klein glas dat wanneer het tot de rand is gevuld ongeveer 4 cl drank bevat.
Wanneer het laatste restje jenever uit een fles niet toereikend blijkt voor een borrel, mag de klant dit volgens een cafétraditie gratis opdrinken.
Een combinatie van jenever en bier (in afzonderlijke glazen) heet in Nederlandse cafés een kopstoot.

 thinking bartender: jenever page
As Jenever was created before Gin, it would be more correct to identify Gin as ’English Genever’, but as English gin doesn’t closely resemble jenever, that too is inappropriate.
Jenever involves the blending of two things, neutral grain spirit and ’Moutwijn’ (Malt wine).’Malt wine’ closely resembles whisky, which is also made from a mash.
This means that Jonge jenever is less pronounced, with regards to the taste of ’moutwijn’, while at the same time being less sweet compared with its older style counterpart.

Jenever (also known as genever, jeniever, or in England as Holland gin), is the juniper-flavored and strongly alcoholic traditional liquor of the Netherlands and Flanders, from which gin has evolved.
Believed to have been invented by a Dutch chemist and alchemist named Sylvius de Bouve (in Latin: Franciscus Sylvius), it was first sold as a medicine in the late 16th century.
Korenwijn is a drink very similar to the 18th century style jenever, and is often matured for a few years in an oak cask.

 Jenever: Dutch national drink (UT-Nieuws nr. 26 van donderdag 12 september 2002)
Jenever, as we know it today, was born in the pharmacy of Sylvius de Bouve, a chemist, alchemist, renowned scholar and professor at the University of Leiden (Rogier points out that there is still some discrepancy as to the place of origin; some experts still insist that it originated in Belgium).
In the 17th century, jenever ceased to be used exclusively for medicinal purposes and became a commonly consumed beverage.
He prefers young ('jong') jenever to old ('oude') and explains that the difference comes not from the aging process as in scotch but in the differing base ingredients.

De goudgele kleur van oude jenever is meestal afkomstig van karamel, die er ook een vleugje zoet aan meegeeft.
Veel oude jenevers mogen de benaming graanjenever op het etiket gebruiken, omdat ze voor honderd procent gebaseerd zijn op graanalcohol, zonder toevoeging van neutrale melasse-alcohol.

There are many stories about the origin of ‘jenever', but there is no-one that can claim to tell the absolute truth, so we leave the stories for what they are and concentrate on the facts.
Simply explained: You have alcohol, you have jenever based flavor, artificially or non-artificially, you mix the two together and voila you have jenever.
This kind of jenever is mostly served very cold, advised and advertised by the big jenever firms during a long period, to ensure that you won't taste the (poor) quality of the product.

 History of Gin starting with Jenever and the best Gin based cocktails: Martini Dry, Singapore Sling, Martini Sweet and ...
Jenever belongs to the family of the grain spirits and is the forefather of Gin.
Although the jenever berries, besides coriander and orange skin, are the main ingredients in all brands of gin, there is a a lot of variety in taste between the different brands, as they all use different aromatic ingredients in their (secret) recipes.
Because these Jenevers are more complex in taste and in preparation, it is better to drink them pure, especially since they are suitable to ripen in oak wood casks.

Jenever is a clear distilled alcohol, made from grain, molasses and/or juniper berries.
While Dutch people (being better marketeers) say jenever (or genever) is a Dutch traditional drink, the truth is jenever is made in Belgium too.
The belgian version of a 'kopstoot' (head-butt) (mentioned in another jenever writeup) is the combination 'Duvel' (devil), a strong belgian blonde beer (8 degrees) and a very strong old jenever (>35 degrees).

 Saveur - King Gin
English soldiers fighting in the Netherlands saw their Dutch counterparts drinking jenever on the battlefield, and dubbed it "Dutch courage" for the way it seemed to inspire fearlessness.
William of Orange, the Dutch stadtholder, all but guaranteed jenever's success when he became King William III of England in 1689: He promptly banned imports of French brandy—France and Holland were at war at the time—and levied high import duties on distilled goods from Germany.
English gin of this period was cheap and, by all accounts, rough and potent—and the general population, used to drinking beer, didn't accord it the respect that stronger spirits are due.

Oude Jenever onderscheid zich duidelijk waarneembaar van Jonge Jenever door een zeer uitgesproken smaak welke onder andere afkomstig is van een groter deel Moutwijn (minimaal 15% van het eindproduct).

Whenever you read anything about the early history of jenever and gin, you will be told that Sylvius, Professor of Medicine at the University of Leyden was the first to perfect a juniper flavoured spirit in around 1568, used to treat kidney disorders.
Interestingly enough large amounts of Dutch jenever continued to be imported into Britain throughout the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries with official figures for 1782 showing a figure of 2.5 million gallons.
Jenever and gin long ago went their separate ways but, if you would like to get some idea of what England's national drink first tasted like, we've listed some excellent jenever brands below.

 Amsterdam : The Bar Scene
The most common word for a glass of jenever (Dutch gin) is a borrel (bo-rel) or the diminutive borreltje (bo-rel-che), though you'll also hear it called a vaderlandje (fader-lant-che), meaning "little fatherland," and other terms such as hassebassie (hass-uh-bassie), keiltje (kyle-che), piketanussie (pik-et-an-oossee), recht op neer (rekht op near), and slokkie (slok-ee).
A glass of jenever filled to the brim, as tradition mandates that it must be, is called a kamelenrug (cam-ay-len-rookh), meaning "camel's back," or an over het IJ-kijkertje (over het eye kyk-erche), meaning "view over the IJ" (an Amsterdam water channel).
The former is a fiery, colorless liquid served ice-cold and drunk "neat" -- it's not a mixer.

Around 1840 Hasselt had 24 jenever distilleries, about one third of the entire number of distilleries in the province.
Their owners gained a lot of influence in the economic life of the city, especially because new railroads and traffic infrastructure allowed the distilleries to export to other parts of the Low Countries.
However, the jenever industry gradually lost its importance for the Hasselt economic situation as from the end of the 19th century.

 An exclusive - and elusive - drink - Haaretz - Israel News
If jenever (or genever; in Flemish it is pronounced ye-nei-fer) were the national drink of some other country, presumably you would have heard of it.
In the 19th century, grain-based jenever became nearly extinct, and in its stead the Flemish began producing an inferior beverage with the same name, based on cheaper raw materials (potatoes, sugar) and methods of mass production.
When one encounters Belgian jenever, it is best to confirm that it has indeed been produced from grains (graanjenever) by the old method (systeme vieux), and then to drink it slowly from small tulip glasses, preferably stemmed, with the opening smaller than the base.
