Le Tribute is commercialized as a product connected to the Giró family's business activities and the production site MG Destilerías in Vilanova i la Geltrú (Barcelona). The brand evokes a link to the local family tradition, blending historical elements of the distillery with a contemporary offering of premium gin and mezcal.
Production philosophy
Strong focus on artisanal selection of botanicals and aromatic balance: the gin emphasizes a citrusy, fresh approach with individually selected and processed ingredients; the mezcal highlights traditional Mexican methods and the agave's origin.
