Bols 'Barrel Aged' Genever (1000ml Bottle)

Genever - or genievre, a distillate of malted grain infused with juniper and other botanicals - is considered to be the oldest style of gin. The difference comes from the regulations which makes that Genever must be made with at least 50% of mal wine (always made from grains like rye, malted barley and corn), while Gin can be distilled from any raw material - making Genever actually closer to whiskey than regular gin.The Bols Barrel Aged Genever has a rich and rounded malty flavor, with hints of juniper and oak and a complex yet fruity finish. Produced in limited quantities, this genever is a true testament to the craftsmanship of our master distillers. Bols Barrel Aged Genever owes its beautiful golden colour and complex sweet flavor to the extensive 18-month ageing period on oak casks from the French Limousin region.A genever this special deserves to be shown off in cocktails like the Very Old Fashioned, allowing the soul of the spirit to really shine through. Looking for a true taste of Amsterdam? Enjoy it straight in combination with a glass of beer for what the Dutch like to call a 'Kopstootje'.
