Companies and Finance: Europe. p.1. If you enjoy the standard bottle of Beefeater, keep an eye out for the brand's special bottlings. They make an appearance from time to time, and each is worth a taste when the bottle crosses yourpath. Beefeater 24, for example, is a regular offering that is a nice upgrade from the original and the brand often comes out with limited editions. Bloomberg Business News (6 April 1995).

At a mere two years, it exhibits a roundness that you don’t often see in whiskies (or aged gins for that matter).

Distilled since the 1870s, Tanqueray is now produced at Camron Bridge in Edinburgh, Scotland, one of Europe's largest distilleries. What's most amazing is that this four times distilled gin uses just four botanicals: juniper, coriander seed, angelica root, and licorice.Martin Miller's is a modern take on traditional gin. It has that wonderful juniper dominance of a London dry and it is perfectly balanced, crisp, clean and simply an extravagant gin. The Bols family began producing Dutch genever in 1664. Amsterdam’s existence as a trading city in the 1600s gave Bols access to many spices, herbs, and fruits. The Bols genever recipe was recreated in 1820 using a complex mix of botanicals. And while its barrel-aged genever launched internationally in 2010, Bols started resting genever on oak – French Limousin oak, to be exact – in 1883. By the way, genever is not the same as gin Although some of us call it the malty granddaddy of gin, genever is very much its own spirit. Because of its malt bill, it’s actually closer to whiskey than gin. Both genever and gin use juniper berry as a flavoring agent, but gin’s base is a neutral grain spirit mixed with botanicals, whereas genever is made with a mash of malted barley, rye, and corn. Like whiskey, genever can also be jonge (young), oude (old), and is sometimes aged in oak. But Bols also produces gin In 2004, Bols launched a new ergonomically shaped bottle, developed with the help of bartenders to best suit professional use and even flare bartending - no coincidence perhaps the bottles resemble something between a bowling pin and a juggler’s club. Grant, Ben (15 August 2007). "Bols launches bartending academy". Drinks Business. Nikki Morrison, UK brand manager, says: "Bartenders are the top priority for Bols and the Bols Bartending Academy is the perfect way to inspire bartenders and demonstrate our support...."

As a clear grain-based distillate, junge jenever is particularly low in energy with a single shot containing fewer than 100 calories. However, oude jenever will likely be more. In either case, carbs are essentially absent, though.

This is your first step into the magical world of cocktails.

During the First World War, however, grain imports struggled. Therefore, producers turned to distilling alcohol from other ingredients such as sugar beet molasses and potatoes. As a result, this became known as “jonge” or “new style” jenever. Double strain: pour the contents of the shaker through a Hawthorn strainer and a fine strain, into the pre-chilled glass. One spectacular recipe for Bols Genever is from David Wondrich’s book Punch called “Hot Bols Genever Punch.“ Blue Curaçao, a deep blue, orange flavored liqueur made from a variety of orange types and herbs. This is Bols' signature product, and is commonly referred to as "Bols Blue." In either case, a second process will follow where juniper and other herbs are steeped in the base spirit before being distilled. While gin can sometimes be made using vapour infusion, most brands will undertake the same process.
