Bols Corenwyn 6 Jaar Gelagerde (700ml)

Another variant in Bols Corenwyn line up is this six year old, now with updated packaging and in a 700ml format. (Previously we shipped the one litre equivalents). Corenwyn is an alternative spelling of the generic 'kirenwijn', a high-malt Genever specialty. The style, 'corenwyn' translates as 'grain wine', referring to the high proportion of malt wine (at least 51%) used in the blend. Only Bols is permitted to use Corenwyn as a brand name because it was Lucas Bols himself who first created the drink back in 1575. The term was reserved for the very finest distillations of grain. The 6 year old was launched in 2009 as a limited edition but has continued due to popular demand. 40% Alc./Vol.
