Being one of the oldest brands in the World, the story of Filliers begins sometime towards the end of the 18th century in Belgium. Karel Lodewijk Filliers started the Jenever business on the family farm and ignited the passion for distillation that would continue for five generations! It was in the year 1928 that Firmin Filliers came up with the recipe for Gin with 28 different botanicals, and it hasn’t changed since then. Why change perfection, right?
The production was slow in the middle of last century as Whisky was a more popular choice of spirit, but in the last decade things have changed. The craft Gin movement is growing growing stronger, and now this legendary Gin returned its former glory. Filliers Dry Gin is a small batch Gin created in copper stills. It was infused with 28 botanicals, in addition to juniper, to form the soul of this descent of Jenever a real tradition in a bottle!
The Flavor Spiral™ shows the most common flavors that you'll taste in Filliers Dry Gin 28 and gives you a chance to have a taste of it before actually tasting it.
We invented Flavor Spiral™ here at Flaviar to get all your senses involved in tasting drinks and, frankly, because we think that classic tasting notes are boring.

London Dry Gin is not always from London. Gin does not have the same geographical restrictions as Spirits such as Cognac, Scotch, or Tequila. Only a tiny handful of London Dry Gins are actually made in the city.
Really tasty. Well balanced. The pine note is interesting.
Robert,
Definitely a ton a different flavors in the mix. Sweet, yet with a touch of pine forest. Some vanilla.
Joshua,
smells a proper gin, botanical and juniper-y; first taste is a mix of juniper and vanilla, with a nice bit pepper followed by a lightly citrus finish
Steven,
Bold, full-bodied, with a slightly short finish. Wonderful.
Jason,
Surprisingly complex taste compared to the nose. Nicely balanced between fruity and dry.
chris,
I loved this tangy zesty fruity Gin, its lovely on it's own or with tonic very good value for money and a worthy winner.
Antti,
It is a classic, crisp, Dry Gin that has an aromatic birth; while an elegant & creamy life leads to a zesty death of medium length.
Philip,
Good on ice
Timothy,
A classic gin - starts and finishes like a London dry should...very enjoyable.
MICHELE,
Strong aroma of refreshing juniper, but tastes lightly of citrus and floral. Delightful for sipping all by itself. I'm sure it would also be lovely in cocktails using citrus or elderflower mixers.
Brian,
I agree with Luis, it's a very balanced gin. It has a fairly weak aroma, but packs a great juniper taste.
Luis,
A very balanced gin, with unique hints if citrus and vanilla. It’s delicate taste will surprise you...
Kevin,
Not very good. Harsh taste and not good by itself or mixed with tonic.
I loved it. First dry gin I’ve tried and very glad it did.
Gordon,
Too harsh. Hits the tongue like a freight train and then lingers with harsh after tones. Has no real scent and offers little to endear.
Kevin,
Loved this one. Great choice for a dry gin.
Aljaz,
I loved it too! Great gin.
Michael,
This is more of an acquired taste - the pine somewhat overwhelms. Not bad, but there are better gins.
Jamie,
This is a very classic but mild tasting gin. In my opinion, this is your “gateway” gin into becoming a gin lover. For the more seasoned gin drinker, it was a little weak
Richard,
A unique and delicate find, this was why I joined Flaviar! When I perused the catalogue, this was one of the many varietals of Gin which I did not know. Granted, I am whiskey fellow myself, so there were juniper-infused beverages which threw me from the tried path. From the Gin Lane collection, this was the third and final glass I poured and it was worth it. A remarkable gin that mixes the perfect amount of spice with herb to create a floral presentation and one that is hard to replicate. If you see it, get it. You certainly will not be upset with this remarkable choice.
Hansen,
great tasting, smooth, clean tasting, not too sweet, can be refreshing, especially with ice, distinct aroma
guest,
The best !
Cameron,
Not a fan of the dry old fashioned taste. Good benchmark gin though. really enjoyed it in tonic water
Larry,
Good favor with a typical juniperberry dominance.
Scott,
Smooth, easy-going, less spicy and herbaceous gin. A bit too booze-forward for me, but perhaps that could be improved in a cocktail.
Virgil,
If you like gin... This is a must have!!
Matija,
Not sure about _must have_ but definitely a good choice!
guest,
Like a monkey eating a tangerine frolicking outdoors. Cool.
Sean,
I think it's bloody marvelous! It's just moved to #! as my gin of choice.
Ian,
Neat you get a real dry punch, it mellows with a good tonic
