Bols Genever - Amsterdam Edition Description

Bols Genever - Amsterdam Edition is a distinguished Dutch spirit that bridges the gap between gin and whiskey, offering a unique taste experience. Crafted by Lucas Bols, the world's oldest distilled spirits company established in 1575, this genever is based on an authentic 1820 recipe. The production begins with a malt wine base, a harmonious blend of wheat, rye, and corn, which is triple-distilled in copper pot stills to achieve a rich, full-bodied flavor. This malt wine is then infused with a carefully selected mix of botanicals, including juniper berries, coriander, caraway, aniseed, angelica root, licorice, ginger, and hops, each distilled separately to extract their purest essences. The resulting spirit is aged in oak casks, allowing the flavors to marry and develop over time, imparting subtle woody notes and a smooth finish. With an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 42.0%, Bols Genever - Amsterdam Edition is versatile, perfect for sipping neat, enjoying in traditional Dutch fashion from a tulip-shaped glass, or as a base in classic cocktails like the Red Light Negroni. Its complex flavor profile, characterized by malty richness, herbal undertones, and a hint of spice, has earned it accolades, including Double Gold and Best of Show at the Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America Convention in 2018, and the Best Dutch Genever Award at the World Best Gin Competition the same year. This spirit not only offers a taste of Dutch heritage but also a unique addition to any connoisseur's collection.

Using a single large ice cube minimizes dilution, allowing the genever's complex flavors to shine. The fresh ginger garnish accentuates the spicy undertones, creating a harmonious balance with the elderflower tonic.
