Bols Genever Gin 700ml 42.0%

The Authentic Taste of History: Bols Genever Original 1820

Experience the legendary spirit that defined the cocktail era. Bols Genever is the original Dutch spirit, crafted using the secret 1820 recipe by Lucas Bols. Unlike modern gins, this masterpiece is built on a foundation of triple-distilled malt wine, offering a complex, grainy richness that bridges the gap between gin and whiskey. It is an essential component for any serious home bar or professional mixologist.

Distilled in the heart of Amsterdam, this 42% ABV spirit combines the smoothness of neutral grain spirits with the earthy, aromatic profile of juniper and carefully selected botanicals. Whether you are revisiting the roots of classic mixology or sipping it traditional Dutch style in a 'kopstootje', Bols Genever delivers an unparalleled depth of flavor that has stood the test of time.

Serving Suggestions

Bols Genever is best enjoyed in a classic 'Dutch Collins' or a 'Red Light Negroni' to highlight its malty character. For the traditionalists, serve it neat in a tulip-shaped glass, chilled to 8-10°C. It pairs exceptionally well with smoked seafood, pickled herring, or aged Dutch cheeses like Gouda.
