Bols Genever Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

The General Wine Company sources wines from all over the world, but with a particular focus on small, independent producers. Having been distilling spirits for some 440 years, Bols can rightly claim to have more than an idea about what they are doing. It didn't take long for the English to try and recreate the spirit, which resulted in being a spirit related to Genever, but not the real deal. In 2006 David Wondrich wrote Imbibe, a book about the first cocktail book ever written by Jerry Thomas.

Bottled at a slightly higher proof than the standard Bols Jong this has also seen a stylish packaging overhaul for the bar scene.Each of their liqueurs are created from a recipe carefully guarded down the years which also involves soaking the necessary ingredients (herbs, fruit peel, etc) in the still. Please note that the allergens shown as present are those shown on the supplier’s packaging and do not refer to allergens that may be present in the same production environment.

Substitute aged rum or whiskeys with aged Genever and I can guarantee you'd end up with a great cocktail. For a true taste of Holland, combine it with a glass of white beer and partake in the traditional Dutch ritual of a ‘Kopstootje’. I intend to try it as an ingredient in an Old Fashioned style cocktail, as either a rinse or split base spirit but it seems my intentions of creating a delicious, full bodied, juniper heavy, crisp and sharp cocktail have failed for the time being.Based on a spirit of corn, wheat and rye, this enduring recipe comprises 22 botanicals with notes of hops, coriander, ginger and sweet orange shining through.

This is a totally authentic and unique drink that should be tried by anyone with an interest in gin. Inn Express provides this information in good faith, but it's important to note that its accuracy and completeness depend on the suppliers. Purchasing your favourite spirits and other alcoholic beverages has never been easier than with Drink Finder.This flavoursome distillate is blended with a juniper-berry distillate and a separate botanical distillate, including coriander, caraway and aniseed. During distillation the oils from these ingredients will infuse with the spirit but not affect the colour. Fourteen ingredients such as angelica root aniseed ginger root apricot nuts and learwyt seed are then infused for flavouring. A traditional genever from popular Dutch drinks producer Bols, who can track their genever heritage back to the 16th century.
