Tasting Notes

Nose

Full and aromatic with ripe cherries, almond and a hint of vanilla.

Palate

Juicy and rich with sweet and slightly tart cherry flavours balanced by soft vanilla and a touch of cherry pit. Smooth and natural, never overly sweet.

Finish

Long and refined with lingering cherry and gentle freshness.

Serving and pairing suggestions

Serve slightly chilled or over ice. Enjoy neat, topped with prosecco or in fruity cocktails. Excellent with chocolate, cheesecake or vanilla ice cream, and pairs beautifully with game dishes featuring fruit sauces.

Rijswijks Pompwater

Rijswijks Pompwater is the name of our own series of liqueurs, specially made for Wine and Whisky Specialist Van der Boog. The name playfully refers to the pure water that forms the basis of their creations – a nod to tradition with a modern, idiosyncratic twist.

The old Water Pump of Rijswijk

In earlier days, houses did not have water connections. Since 1550, water was drawn from a well using buckets. In 1831, things became easier when the water pump we are so familiar with today appeared next to the well. The village pump is a listed building and, together with the well, forms part of Rijswijk’s archaeological heritage. It is a real eye-catcher in the old historic centre.
