Perhaps you’ve ever had one? Since the 1950’s business class passengers of airline KLM get a miniature delftblue Dutch house filled with Bols ‘jenever’ (Dutch gin: genever) as a gift. But this is not the only thing House of Bols has to offer. In this interactive museum of the world’s oldest brand of spirits you get to know more about the origins of their genever, vodka and gin, you are challenged to smell their 36 liquors and enjoy a delicious cocktail at the end.
