Bols Genever Gin

In 1575, more than a hundred years before London truly embraced gin, the house of Bols was already distilling in Amsterdam. That makes Bols the name behind genever, gin's Dutch ancestor, and one of the oldest distillery brands in the world. Over the centuries, the house has developed several genever styles, from the older, robust Oude to a lighter, more modern version closer to classic gin.

About Bols Genever Gin

Genever differs markedly from British gin by building on a malt wine base, giving a fuller, more whisky-like body than the light, juniper-driven London Dry style.

History & Background

Bols was founded in Amsterdam in 1575 and, over its long history, has developed several genever styles, including the older, more robust Oude and a lighter, more modern style closer to classic gin.

Production & Style

Malt wine is distilled and blended with botanicals, including juniper, a process markedly different from the pure grain spirit base British gin normally builds on.

Signature Style

Malted, Full-bodied, Historic
A full, almost whisky-like body from the malt wine meets classic gin botanicals, in a style markedly different from British London Dry.
