Rijswijks Pompwater Honey Liquorice Liqueur 50cl

Rijswijks Pompwater Honey Liquorice Liqueur is a distinctly Dutch creation that brings together two beloved flavours: the smooth sweetness of honey and the bold, spicy depth of liquorice. Handcrafted in small batches, it strikes the perfect balance between sweet, salty and spiced -a treat for fans of classic Dutch tastes.

Natural extracts of liquorice root and anise are blended with pure honey, creating a rich, warming profile with remarkable depth and harmony. Both comforting and intriguing, it’s an ideal liqueur to enjoy on a quiet evening or as an after-dinner curiosity.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Aromatic and spicy with honey, liquorice and hints of anise.

Palate

Full and velvety with flavours of liquorice, caramel and honey. The sweetness and spice are beautifully balanced, with a light salty edge for liveliness.

Finish

Long and warming with lingering notes of honey, spice and soft liquorice.

Serving and pairing suggestions

Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled in a small glass. Enjoy neat, with coffee, or as a creative ingredient in desserts. Pairs wonderfully with dark chocolate, nuts or aged cheese for a sweet-savoury contrast.

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.
