Lucas Bols

Bols is the world's oldest distilled spirit brand, dating back to 1575, when the Bols family opened a small distillery in Amsterdam. Since then the company has mastered the selection of the right ingredients, and its expertise and curiosity have led to the creation of hundreds of products. The original recipes are passed on from master distiller to master distiller and updated to suit contemporary tastes.

More than four centuries of craftsmanship, passion and experience come together in the products of Bols: from the world's best-selling genevers to a range of 38 quality liqueurs available in more than one hundred countries. From flavour innovations such as Bols Foam and Bols Natural Yoghurt, to classics like Bols Genever and Bols Blue.

Bols works in close collaboration with professional bartenders from all over the world to develop new products, create new flavours and adapt old recipes in line with cocktail trends. Lucas Bols holds the number one position in liqueur ranges worldwide excluding the US, and is the world's largest player in the genever segment.

In 2014 the Lucas Bols Distillery reopened in the centre of Amsterdam, producing the essential flavour distillates for the various Bols genevers, Bols liqueurs, Damrak Gin and other brands. It is a modern yet authentic distillery, where the craftsmanship of extracting flavours from natural ingredients through distillation, percolation and maceration is still practised as it has been for four centuries.
