Lucas Bols is the oldest distilled brand in the world and one of the Netherlands' oldest still active companies. Over the past 440 years, Lucas Bols has mastered the art of extracting flavors from natural ingredients and creating great cocktail experiences. Lucas Bols is globally known for the quality of its genevers and the impressive Bols Liqueurs range. The Bols Liqueurs line consists of 40 different flavors and is therefore the authority in the cocktail field. In the Netherlands, Lucas Bols is the market leader in domestic distilled spirits through the strong genever & vieux brand portfolio of Lucas Bols. The term 'very old' is not a reference to the age of the drink, but to the fact that this was the first genever that many people drank. In the late twenties, a new type of genever was developed from this: young genever. Bols Zeer Oude Genever is distilled from 100% pure grain, but due to the use of other herbal extracts, Bols Zeer Oude Genever is slightly sweeter than its younger brother.
