Serious but playfull. A pinky lemon jenever might make you think this is gonna be easy peasy, friendly and sweet. But Tamar has more funk and more and depth than first hits the eye. The 50 percent Barrel aged maltwine and high alcohol content sets Tamar appart from the other lemon jenevers at the market. but also her colour. the Tamar is not just pink to look friendly. It get’s it colour from the masseration on hibiskus. This is also where it get’s it acidity from. Naturally a lemon cannot give it citric acid to alcohol. The hibiskus ‘citric’ acid can. So Tamar inhereits het playfullness from necessity.
This heavy weight jenever needs a strong partner for a pairing. We love a combination with barrel aged bar­leywine.
