Boomsma

DISTILLERY OVERVIEW In 1883, Dirk Boomsma’s wholesale business in colonial goods and distilled drinks was founded in Leeuwarden. This company, which was located in Oldehoofster Kerkhof in the Frisian capital, supplied groceries and bitters to stores and cafés throughout the province. These were the building blocks of Boomsma Distillery. While the first bottles of Boomsma were produced in the late-1800s, this distinctive portfolio of Dutch Genever and Herbbitters has continued to soar in popularity across Holland and the rest of the world. Boomsma continues to be an independent family-owned distillery with the 5th generation at the helm, ensuring that old traditions are cherished while pursuing new ambitions. In 2003, the family opened a charming museum in the city center of Leeuwarden featuring a tasting room that welcomes guests from all over the world. DISTILLING PHILOSOPHY Throughout the generations, Boomsma has been produced according to the key principles of using high-quality genever and herb that show their own distinctive character. Today these products are cherished as part of the family heritage and produced accordingly. Owned by: Saskia and Chantoine Boomsma Master Distiller: Jan Kroese
