Juniper is faint. The body is medium full and a bit slick on the palate. Some bitterness at end along with alcohol heat. Drinking at room temp is common, but feel free to use in a cocktail.
Still made with the original recipe from 1820, including 22 botanicals, this genever is clear in the glass with a warm, sweet vanilla-tinged aroma. The malty palate is grainy and slightly viscous, finishing long with vanilla and cinnamon heat.
The palate is dominated more by notes of leather and mushroom — again, not much juniper here — though those toasted grains make a significant impact, falling somewhere between malt syrup and burnt toast.
Bols Genever is a throwback gin produced similarly to how the spirit used to be before the evolution of the column still and the advent of the London Dry Style.
