As the perfect partner for cocktail creation, Bols is sold in over 110 countries and stands as an international, artisanal, and contemporary brand—recognized as the world’s first cocktail spirits brand.

Its 450-year history remains a wellspring of knowledge and inspiration for new generations.
The Lucas Bols Company boasts a portfolio of global brands, including three premium labels—Bols, Passoã, and Galliano—each holding a leadership position in the spirits industry. In addition, it owns over 20 regional liqueur and spirits brands with strong heritage, such as Tequila Partida and Fluère.
