How much alcohol is in a KLM house?

Answered by Joseph Vos

As an expert sommelier and brewer, I can provide you with detailed information about the content in a KLM house, specifically the Dutch Genever. Dutch Genever is a traditional Dutch spirit that has a rich history and is often enjoyed in the famous KLM houses.

Dutch Genever typically has an alcohol content of 35%. This means that for every 100 milliliters of Genever, 35 milliliters are pure alcohol. The remaining 65 milliliters consist of and other components that contribute to the flavor and character of the spirit.

The KLM houses, which are actually miniature replicas of Dutch buildings, serve as unique packaging for the Dutch Genever. These houses are made of ceramic or porcelain and feature a small bottle of Genever inside. The bottle usually has a cork and seal on top, ensuring the quality and freshness of the spirit.

It is worth noting that the KLM houses are not always filled with Genever. Sometimes they are sold with empty bottles, while other times the Genever has been consumed, leaving an empty bottle behind. The choice of whether to include the Genever in the house is often up to the individual who purchases or receives the house.

Personal experiences have shown that some collectors prefer to keep their KLM houses filled with Genever, while others display the empty bottles as part of their collection. It can be a fun and interactive way to explore the world of Dutch and appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into creating these unique miniature houses.

The alcohol content in a KLM house, specifically the Dutch Genever, is typically 35%. However, it is important to note that the houses may contain either filled or empty bottles, depending on individual preferences. The KLM houses serve as a charming and collectible way to showcase the rich history and tradition of Dutch Genever.
