Le Tribute Gin

Le Tribute Gin – by MG Distelerias

The Le Tribute Gin from MG Distelerias in Villanova i la Geltrú, Spain, combines wonderfully fresh citrus notes with the aromas of a classic gin. Juniper berries meet juicy citrus fruits, such as ripe oranges from Valencia and lemons from Seville, bittersweet grapefruits, sweet-scented tangerines from the Mediterranean coast and zesty limes, rounded off with lemongrass and ginger.

Before distillation, the classic gin botanicals are carefully macerated so that they can release their aromas into the alcohol. The citrus peels are macerated in stainless steel tanks for at least 40 days. For Le Tribute Gin, MG Distelerias uses an alcoholic base of the highest quality wheat and barley. Each group of botanicals is distilled individually and later combined by the master distiller in the coupage, the blend in its perfect proportions.

The result is an authentic Spanish gin with complex citrus notes, where tangerine dominates over juniper, and an unmistakably fresh finish. Despite its 43% vol. alcohol, the mild Le Tribute Gin is a pleasure neat, as well as a base for Gin & Tonic or other gin cocktails.

The Le Tribute Tonic Water, specially developed for this gin, perfectly underscores the gin's character and highlights the juniper note. You can buy gin and tonic online here.

Le Tribute Gin from Spain

The home of Le Tribute Gin is the Spanish coast south of Barcelona. The distillery of the Giró family in Teruel has achieved the mission of distilling a world-class gin with both Le Tribute Gin and Gin Mare, which the old family distillery, founded in 1835, also produces. Both gins have received multiple international awards.

But it's not just the taste of Le Tribute Gin that is impressive; its elegant packaging also sets standards. The iconic blue-green bottle is reminiscent of the Roaring Twenties and the art style of that era: Art Nouveau, which aimed to integrate art and aesthetics into everyday life. The slightly conical bottle made of corrugated glass with decorative flowing lines, as well as the geometric shape of a copper-colored ornament with the inscription Le Tribute and its repetition on the equally copper-colored, square screw cap, are reminiscent of this era of the last century. The unusual label's appearance is reminiscent of a cigar box band, even if one fortunately looks in vain for smoky notes in this gin. Le Tribute is a Gesamtkunstwerk that demonstrates the heritage, craftsmanship, over a hundred years of experience, as well as the pioneering spirit and great passion of the Giró family for handcrafted gin.
