Distillery: Bokma

Bok means a male goat, hence the goat emblem on the crest. Klaas Bokkeszoon owned a corn mill and a public house and so it was almost natural that his son Freerk Klaaseszoon Bokma established his own distillery, which he named The Source. Today Piet Bokma, a fifth generation direct descendant, continues the familys link with the brand. Advances in technology have not gone unnoticed at Bokma, but essentially the jenever is still distilled as it was at The Source. When production moved to Zoetermeer in 1987, Bokmas stills came too, and the herb distillates which gives the brand its unique flavour are still produced in Bokmas traditional copper stills. Convinced that the full-bodied contents of a Bokma bottle were already round enough, in 1894 Freerks son Pieter designed a unique square bottle, predating other famous quadrilaterals such as Cointreau. This revolutionary packaging helped distinguish Bokma from other jenevers and more than a century later it continues to do so. Piet Bokma introduced this jonge or light style of Bokma in 1966. Based on a combination of juniper berries, coriander, peppercorns, angelica and liquorice, it was an instant success, recording sales of over two million litres in only its second year. Sadly the general decline in jenevers popularity in The Netherlands has also hit Bokmas sales in recent decades.
