A family distillery in central Flanders officially founded way back in 1880, the Filliers distillery is located in Belgium, in the town of Bachte-Maria-Leerne. The Filliers family has been producing Genever, the “father” of gin, since the 19th century and so the idea of producing a gin seemed like a natural progression. Always family-run, it was in 1928 that Dry 28 was created, 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 name of the gin indicates both its birth date, 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 hops flower from Belgium. The Filliers family also includes the characteristic Sloe gin. It is produced with the best wild Allegheny sloes that are picked immediately after the first frost, around October. Production is limited to 2,300 liters due to the difficult availability of the raw material. Furthermore, the sloes are macerated inside Filliers dry gin 28 for four months. Sloe Gin is subtle and refined, but at the same time complex and full in all the organoleptic components. Smooth and velvety, it strongly recalls red fruits and ripe and jammy berries.
