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 the first Belgian gin in all respects. 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 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 hop flowers from Belgium. The latter gives the gin its characteristic light and bitter aroma. Filliers Dry Gin 28 is aged for four months in 300l French oak barrels from Limousin, previously containing cognac. This gives the gin sweeter and more delicate notes.
