We Tried This Premade Old Fashioned And Here's What Our Panel Said
"Good color with orange aromas and an added complexity of fragrances from the botanical spirit. Smells even lovelier as it opens up when poured over ice."
"Although it's not made using bourbon, the barrel aged Genever (somewhere between gin and whiskey) still gives this premixed old fashioned a lively finish as if it were."
"Very strong at 30% ABV. If you like your Old Fashioned cocktails on the bolder side of things, then you'll like the boozy, spicy finish this version from Bols offers. Adding a slightly sweet garnish like a Maraschino cherry would definitely level it up and take out some of the bite."
"Not your typical Old Fashioned, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Aromatic and bitter up front with a nice kick on the back end. The barrel aging of the Genever alcohol works well here and gives this cocktail more of a whiskey essence."
More From Our Review Of This Ready-To-Drink Old Fashioned Cocktail
Strong and spicy, Bols botanical twist on the Old Fashioned Cocktail adds a layer of flavor and fragrance not commonly found in the traditional bourbon Old Fashioned. Using a barrel aged batch of the Dutch spirit, Genever, allows this drink to present many qualities of the classic version while adding an herbaceous complexity.
