Portrait: What makes the Le Tribute Gin special

In a small Spanish town called Vilanova i la Geltrú, where tapas and temperament meet, magical things happen - and in bottle form! There, just an olive stone's throw from Barcelona, stands the MG distillery, named after Manuel Giró, the family's spirits whisperer. For generations, the Girós have been tinkering with the art of distilling - and the result is, among other things: Le Tribute Gin.

Le Tribute? Sounds like a French movie, but it's pure Spanish passion with a touch of retro charm. The name stands for "The Liquid Tribute" - a homage to old craftsmanship with a fresh twist. Or in other words: "Old but new," as they say at MG - grandpa in a tailored suit with sneakers.

The list of ingredients reads like the weekly market on speed: juniper berries from the family's estate in Teruel, plus citrus fruits, as if someone had raided a botanical garden - from kumquat to tangerine, all hand-picked, of course. And the lemongrass? It looks as good between the juniper and lemon as a sombrero at sunset.

Of course, this is still made by hand - no assembly-line romance, but real heart and soul in the bottle. So if you don't want to dazzle with a tired Prosecco at your next spring reception, try Le Tribute Gin instead. It's not a magic potion, but it sometimes feels like one.

Conclusion:
A modern, citrus-accented dry gin with a balanced structure. The combination of traditional juniper and fresh, hand-picked botanicals makes it versatile - both neat and in classic or fruit-forward cocktails.

Tasting Notes: This is how the Le Tribute Gin tastes like

• Nose: Le Tribute Gin opens with a clear, fresh citrus aroma - aromas of lime, grapefruit, and mandarin are particularly present, accompanied by a light hint of lemongrass - the juniper is recognizable, yet subtly integrated - overall, a very pure and balanced bouquet with a fruity-tart character
• Palate: On the palate, the gin is dry and structured - the citrus fruits once again stand out, especially orange and kumquat, which offer a pleasant balance of sweetness and bitterness - the juniper remains in the background, but adds depth to the distillate - the lemongrass brings a fine, herbal freshness
• Finish: The finish is medium to long, with persistent freshness - the citrus notes linger harmoniously, accompanied by a subtle spicy aftertaste - the overall impression remains clear and clean
