Bols Strawberry (700 ml)

The Bols family began distilling in Amsterdam in 1575, sourcing exotic botanicals through the Dutch East India Company — a supply chain that gave the house access to ingredients most European distillers had never encountered. That same botanical intelligence underpins the liqueur range today. Bols Strawberry is built on a fruit-juice-forward base, blending real fruit juice with botanical esprits and tinctures, sweetened with 'Eau Divine' (a 20% ABV sugar solution), and left to marry under the Master Distiller's approval before bottling — a process unchanged in its philosophy since the 17th-century recipe archives. The Amsterdam distillery at Pijlsteeg runs three copper pot stills (100 L, 200 L, and 500 L) for botanical distillates, with finishing and blending at the Avandis facility in Zoetermeer. What separates Bols from most fruit liqueur producers is the house doctrine of Semper Idem — 'Always the Same' — prioritising batch-to-batch consistency over novelty, a discipline rare in a category driven by trend reformulation. As a non-vintage expression, it is ready to use immediately and designed for indefinite shelf stability when stored away from direct light.
