This Tribute gin an ode to the Filliers family. The original recipe dates back to 1928, when third-generation Firmin Filliers ran the company and developed the recipe. He created a complex gin with different depths. Notes of malt are interspersed with hints of angelica and lavender. The flavours churn elegantly, just like in the roaring ‘20s. The rich history of this gin is also reflected in the shape of the original bottle. Since glass was very expensive back then, they ragged on a makeshift solution. At the time, Firmin was able to obtain the iconic apothecary bottle through his cousin, an apothecary in Antwerp, in order to bottle his product.
