The story
The company's origins trace back to the Giró family, with historical references to a 'house founded' in 1835. The Gin MG recipe was formulated by Manuel Giró in 1940; gin production continues with artisanal methods and the brand is managed by the same family across multiple generations.
Production philosophy
Positioned with a 'real', no-frills approach, MG emphasizes natural ingredients and historic recipes: simple, genuine gins designed to be enjoyed in the moment, with attention to raw materials and local tradition.
Territory
Vilanova i la Geltrú (metropolitan area of Barcelona), Catalonia, Spain. Production is associated with the family's historic headquarters and the distillery in the province of Barcelona.
Production method
Artisanal production in copper pot stills; London Dry style/redistillation with botanicals. Some products (e.g. Paradiso) are obtained by combining the classic base with separate distillates of herbs, citrus and spices.
Distillation
Redistillation in copper pot stills (London Dry); vaporisation/distillation of the botanicals; for some variants assembly of separate distillates.
