Gin Filliers Dry Gin 28 Barrel Aged (50cl 43.7%) - crb

A family distillery in the center of Flanders officially founded back in 1880, the Filliers distillery is located in the Belgian town of Bachte-Maria-Leerne. The Filliers family has been producing Genever, the "father" of gin, since the 19th century, so the idea of producing a gin seemed an entirely natural step. Always family-run, it was in 1928 that Dry 28 was invented, which can be considered in all respects the first Belgian gin. The creator of the recipe is Firmin Filliers (1888-1965), a member of the third generation of Master Distillers. The 28 in the gin's name indicates both its date of birth, 1928, and the fact that it contains 28 botanicals including: juniper berries from Italy, coriander from Bulgaria, lavender flowers from France, orange blossoms from Spain, spices from Jamaica, malt from France, bitter root from India, ginger from China, angelica root from Belgium, oranges from Spain, limes from Mexico, lemons from Israel, and the hop flower from Belgium. The latter gives the gin its characteristic light, bittering aroma. Filliers Dry Gin 28 is rested for four months in 300l French Limousin oak barrels previously containing cognac. This gives the gin sweeter and more delicate notes.
