Genever is basically a blend of whiskey and gin and in this drink combines wonderfully with Scotch as a base to which maraschino and blood orange flavour...
I was wondering how much the blood orange flavour should be colouring this. Mine was having real trouble fighting its way through the Maraschino - which on its own was playing very nicely with the Bols genever and infinity bottle blended scotch. But the whole thing was flat. I added citric acid, saline solution and a spray of blood orange peel - and it's very delicious, but I have no idea if this is the right flavour profile.
I'm confused by this comment... Is Bols Genever not an oude? It's classified as such here on DG (https://www.diffordsguide.com/beer-wine-spirits/1111/bols-genever) (even with comment history related to it previously being categorized as a jonge before being changed to the oude category...).
