Flavoured with a whisky-like triple grain distillate made of corn, wheat and rye, which the Dutch call maltwine. This flavoursome distillate is blended with a juniper-berry distillate and a separate botanical distillate, including coriander, caraway and aniseed. The recipe contains over 50% maltwine

Launched in 2008, Bols Genever has practically single-handedly re-established the export market for genever, particularly to the USA.
