Description

The delightfully complex triple grain spirit made is of corn, rye and wheat, and is blended with a selection of 22 botanicals. The General Wine Company is a family-owned and operated wine merchant in Liphook, Hampshire, England.

Bols Genever Original is an award-winning classic cocktail spirit that combines the mixability of a white spirit and the complexity of a brown spirit. Fourteen ingredients such as angelica root aniseed ginger root apricot nuts and learwyt seed are then infused for flavouring. For those with more refined palates, try our lesser-known spirits that aren’t quite as mainstream as the popular favourites.This new recipe is the authentic flavor of genever as it should be: complex, powerful, and delectable. Please do not attempt to enter this web site if you are not above the legal age of drinking alcohol in your country of residence. This flavoursome distillate is blended with a juniper-berry distillate and a separate botanical distillate, including coriander, caraway and aniseed.

Bols Genever Gin became one of the most important ingredients for a new phenomenon in the 19th century, the cocktail.

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. It won Double Gold and Best of Show during the Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America convention 2018 and is a solid favourite amongst bar tenders. 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.

These first cocktails were often made with genever, because of its powerful, delicious flavors and balanced mixing qualities.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.

For a true taste of Holland, combine it with a glass of white beer and partake in the traditional Dutch ritual of a ‘Kopstootje’. In 2006 David Wondrich wrote Imbibe, a book about the first cocktail book ever written by Jerry Thomas. Surprisingly (or not so, considering the similarities to whisky) this drink is particularly tasty neat, on or off the rocks. In addition to being an impeccable spirit for drinking neat, it proved to be perfect for a new phenomenon in the USA; the cocktail.

During distillation the oils from these ingredients will infuse with the spirit but not affect the colour. 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. and 25ml genever as a base for both a classic tom collins and gin martini yielded fairly similar results. Inn Express provides this information in good faith, but it's important to note that its accuracy and completeness depend on the suppliers. Made with a malt wine base as opposed to neutral spirit the result is a rich, full bodied like whisky but with the herbal complexity of a wondeful gin.
