Introduced in 1820 as a new style with a subtler, more harmonious taste, the recipe has been the brand's backbone for two centuries; Bols reintroduced genever to the U.S. in 2008 after cocktail historian David Wondrich helped unearth the recipe behind 19th-century classics. It combines a malt wine of corn, rye and wheat, copper pot distilled, with a blend of botanicals including juniper, hops, ginger and coriander.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts smooth, malty palate features subtle apricot notes and hints of musky juniper.
