Bols

Bols is a Dutch spirits producer with roots in Amsterdam dating back to the 17th century. The house specializes in liqueurs, producing a range of flavored spirits traditionally used in cocktails, digestifs, and culinary applications. Their production focuses on herb-based and fruit liqueurs, drawing on botanical infusion techniques that have defined Dutch liqueur-making for centuries.

Dutch liqueur producers like Bols are known for combining imported botanicals with precise distillation methods to create balanced, clean-tasting spirits. Herb liqueurs in particular emphasize aromatic clarity and balanced sweetness, designed to layer smoothly in mixed drinks or serve as standalone digestifs. The Dutch tradition emphasizes transparency of flavor—allowing individual botanical notes to remain distinct rather than merged into a single impression.

The current range includes Crème de Menthe, a peppermint-focused liqueur representing the classic herb category. These mint liqueurs are typically bottled at moderate proof with pronounced cooling aromatics and are used both as cocktail components and palate cleansers.
