Oddly enough I like this less than the ordinary Bols genever. It's probably because I expected a bit more complexity and felt a bit let down. There are a few cocktails that call for the aged version of genever, but not that many and with the $10 plus dollar increase in price, I'm not sure it's worth that. On the nose I get bread and malt. The palate is heavy on the oak and cherry, with rye bread taking over. The juniper is barely noticeable. The finish is a bit smoother than the original, but still not all that memorable. If this cost a bit less or had more use in cocktails I would probably give it the same score as the regular version. This may be one though for people who like whiskey and are unsure about genever. This has the flavor profile that matches that of whiskey drinkers than the regular version. I still don't think it's all that great for the price, but if cost doesn't really play a factor, then I would go with this for the whiskey drinker and for all others the regular Gols genever.
