About this bottle
Bols Genever Original is a classic Dutch genever made from malt wine blended with a selection of herbs, spices, and grains for a distinctive juniper character quite different from a modern London Dry gin — maltier, rounder, and closer to a whiskey-gin hybrid in body. Bottled at 37.5% ABV in a 1-liter bottle, it's a favorite in Holland and works well as the base for classic Dutch cocktails or a Genever-based Martini. Enjoy it neat or with tonic for a refreshing long drink.
How to drink Bols Genever
Try it neat first, the traditional Dutch way, in a small tulip glass — genever's malty body is meant to be tasted straight before you decide to mix it. Tonic makes an easy long drink if you'd rather have something lighter.

What is Bols known for?
Bols, founded in Amsterdam in 1575, is one of the oldest distilled spirits brands in the world still in production.
How should I serve genever?
Traditionally served neat and chilled in a small tulip glass, though it also works well in a genever-based cocktail like a Genever Sour.
