Here, a skilled bartender awaits to craft a bespoke cocktail tailored uniquely to your palate, ensuring a personalized experience that you won’t forget.

Explore the Legacy of Jenever

The term jenever derives from the Dutch word for juniper berries (jeneverbes), which play a crucial role in the spirit’s production. Historically, these berries were utilized to improve the flavor of early gins, which were distilled from malt wine but lacked the sophisticated refining methods we see today.

The House of Bols invites you to embark on an enlightening voyage through this captivating narrative, where you can savor jenever and its essential ingredients at various stages of their creation. Additionally, you will have the chance to observe the stunning traditional distillery room that once produced this revered spirit.
