Bokma 10 year aged
Ten years and double-aged in American and French oak. Soft vanilla, a hint of orange and deep wood notes: the Bokma you drink like a whisky.
A genever for whisky drinkers
Bokma 10 year aged is a grain genever that has been aged for ten years, with double aging in American and French oak. Two types of wood, two types of influence: American oak gives soft vanilla, while French oak adds structure and deep wood notes. Beneath it all is a hint of orange.
Where the 5 year still lets the grain genever shine through, the 10 year moves toward whisky. The juniper has receded into the background and the wood takes center stage. The ABV is the same as the other old Bokma varieties: 38%. This is the bottle to give as a gift or taste alongside a whisky.

Taste it like a whisky
Treat the 10 year like a good whisky: room temperature, a glass with a narrow opening and time.
Neat in a tasting glass
Pour 30 ml into a tulip-shaped tasting glass and let it sit for a few minutes. Smell the vanilla and orange, taste in small sips and note the long finish.
Tasting glasses →With a few drops of water
Add a few drops of water to 30 ml with a small spoon. The water opens up the wood and brings out the orange more.
Whisky glasses →Alongside a whisky
Pour 20 ml of Bokma 10 year alongside 20 ml of your favorite whisky and taste them alternately. A fun way to show friends how far genever can go.
