Blind Tiger Gin

During American Prohibition, secret bars appeared in the shadows, called 'blind tigers', because guests officially paid to see an 'animal' and got a drink thrown in. The French distillery Miclo in Alsace borrowed the name for its own gin, a tribute to an era of cunning and forbidden pleasure. This is French craftsmanship dressed in American smuggling history.

About Blind Tiger

Blind Tiger is a French gin from the Miclo distillery in Alsace, named after the secret drinking dens that emerged during American Prohibition.

History & Background

The Miclo distillery in Alsace is a family-run house with deep roots in the region's proud tradition of fruit brandy, where generation after generation has refined the craft of distilling spirits such as mirabelle plum and cherry. When the house later turned its attention to gin, it deliberately drew inspiration from the other side of the Atlantic: the term 'blind tiger' referred, during American Prohibition, to secret bars where patrons officially paid to see an 'animal' and received a drink along with it. By borrowing the name for its gin, Miclo forges a link between French distilling tradition and American smuggling history, two worlds rarely mentioned in the same breath.

Production & Style

The gin is distilled with juniper and a French composition of botanicals, in line with the house's other spirit traditions.

Signature Style

Spiced, Fresh, Herbal
The taste offers a spiced, herbal character with a fresh finish.
