Herman Jansen

All about Herman Jansen distillery

The Herman Jansen Distillery has been producing Spirits and Liqueurs since 1777. What started as a family company producing Dutch Genever, has grown to become a producer and distributor of Cognacs, Whiskies, Vodkas, traditional Liqueurs (and of course, more Genevers) in over 50 markets.

Today, the sixth generation of the Jansen family runs the company. In the case of Herman Jansen, the ‘Distillery’ is really a collective term for all of the different parts of the business; the head office is located adjacent to the main distillery, but the Notaris brand of Genevers is distilled on a different site in the same town.

Everything is bottled off site at Avandis – Europe’s largest bottling plant. As well as producing its own brands, Herman Jansen distils Spirits and liqueurs for other companies, as well as syrups and distillates which are then ‘finished’ elsewhere.
