Boomsma Distillery

Boomsma Distillery, founded in 1883 by Dirk Boomsma in Leeuwarden, Netherlands, began as a supplier of groceries and distilled beverages to local shops and pubs. Over time, it has evolved into an independent, family-owned distillery, now managed by the fifth generation of the Boomsma family.

The distillery is renowned for its traditional Dutch spirits, including genevers, Beerenburger, and liqueurs, all produced according to age-old recipes. Their portfolio also features international spirits such as Glen Talloch Whisky, Esbjaerg Vodka, and Old Captain Rum.

A notable product is the Boomsma Claerkampster Clooster Bitter Liqueur, a herbal bitter based on a 16th-century recipe originally crafted by monks in the Claerkamp monastery. This liqueur offers a unique taste of history with notes of anise, cinnamon, and citrus peel, making it an intriguing addition to classic cocktails or enjoyed neat as a digestif.
