't Spul

Welcome to the site with the most spirits

Our café offers more than 500 different brands of jenever (Dutch gin), a small museum, the Borrelmuseum (borrel = small drink) and a lot of other nice drinks from all over the world.

(We also serve beer(s), coffee, tea and soft drinks)

You are always welcome to taste them and if you want I can tell the story or history behind every one of them.

As a speciality in our café we offer a ‘drieluikje’,

a set of three types or brands of jenever

If you want to see how jenever was and is made (in English), take a  look at the short film Genever In the Netherlands (bit further down)I made for the Australian market.

Schiedam, you may not only see, smell and hear,

but at Jeneverie ‘t Spul you can taste Schiedam as well!!!

Be sure to do so in our small café at the Hoogstraat 92 (Highstreet)

in the centre of the old town.

Your visit to Schiedam will not be complete until you have visited

Jeneverie ´t Spul

Jenevertasting


Dear Jenever taster,


Jeneverie 't Spul organizes jenever-tastings.
You can make reservations for a large group (up to 60 people), but also for yourself and small groups.

All tastings include tasting forms, crackers, water, cheese / sausage, pepsels and peanuts. During the tasting I will tell you how jenever is made now and how it used to be made, some history, examples of packaging, bottles, etc. and some anecdotes.
If required, I will be pleased to show you a film that I produced in coöperation with Broodkast videos for the Australian jenever / gin market. (see link above)

What are the possibilities for jenevertastings?


In principle, everything is possible, provided it is within our capabilities.
