During American Prohibition, hidden bars concealed themselves behind a sign showing a "blind tiger", so patrons knew what to expect inside. That spirit lives on in this Belgian gin, distilled in secret.
Expert's description
Blind Tiger Imperial Secrets Gin is a Belgian gin distilled by Deluxe Distillery and bottled at 45%.
The gin is distilled in small batches in a concealed back room in the western part of Belgium and uses 11 botanicals, including juniper, coriander seed, grains of paradise, angelica root, orris root, lemon peel, bitter almond and lemongrass.
What sets Imperial Secrets apart is the addition of three types of tea: Chinese Yunnan tea, Assam black tea from Harmutty in India, and the rare Pu-erh tea from the Himalayas, which gives the gin a spiced warmth.
The combination of exotic teas and spices creates a gin that breaks from the classic style and signals the daring, unorthodox character the entire Blind Tiger range is known for.
