Description

Bols Genever Amsterdam Gin at 42% vol. is a masterfully handcrafted gin that epitomises the centuries-old tradition of genever distillation from Amsterdam. Made by the legendary Bols distillery, this gin combines the characteristic juniper notes of a classic gin with a rich, complex blend of herbs and spices, enhanced by the grain spirit and smooth texture of the genever. Genever, the direct predecessor of modern gin, was originally developed in the Netherlands and is characterised by its balanced combination of juniper berries, spicy herbs and a smooth, malty base.

The selected botanicals in Bols Genever include coriander, angelica root, citrus peel and spices in addition to the traditional juniper berries, giving it a subtle freshness and remarkable depth. The result is a gin of exceptional complexity that leaves a distinctive flavour both on its own and in cocktails and is an excellent alternative to classic London Dry Gins.
