An Expedition into the Heart of the Bols Distillery

So. Today we went to the premier Dutch tourist attraction of the Bols House in Amsterdam. This is by far the best museum i've ever been to. No boring pictures, stupid art or other shit. Instead, a small but effective exhibition on the sensory delights of the fine arts of distilling alcohol in many different flavoUrs :D 

Best of all, you get a free cocktail with admission at the Mirror Bar! I had a great Chocolate or Cherry which actually included two chunks of nut laden chocolate! :D Yay!

I highly recommend a visit to this museum that is WAY better than the Van G

ogh or the Rijksmuseum. Even better, there's a shop with all the Bols Liqueurs where we stocked up on the flavours we were missing. Yummy :)

There's also a bartending academy at the Bols house... perhaps something to do?

The entrance to the House of Bols.

One of the really interesting parts of the museum... trying to guess the flavour of the liquid just by smell. We got soooooo many wrong!!!! Aiyooooh...
Me trying to smell...

The complete collection of KLM Bols houses.... DD has quite a few too, but not as many yet! Probley cause he hates KLM. :P 

It's really a science museum!

And the Bols bottles are very scienfitic too.

all the Bols bottles scrolling by on a huge screen.
Slurp rules????
Finally we got our cocktails at the end of the tour...
Mine came with two pieces of chocolate. Yay! :D
The collection at DD's place...
Such an alcoholicusje :P

At the shop near the exit, there was a cocktail shaker for 35,000 euros!
