During the Prohibition Era, speak easy establishments circumvented the strict liquor laws by selling tickets to ‘see a blind tiger in the back room’, and throwing in a complimentary gin cocktail.

Deluxe Distilleries celebrates the creativity of yesteryear with this contemporary, raw, unique, and handcrafted Blind Tiger Gin. Distilled in small batches in the back room of a concealed distillery in the Western part of Belgium, unusual botanicals such as malted barley and cubeb pepper are used to give Blind Tiger Gin its daring and invigorating character.

Stare the Blind Tiger in the eye & you’ll be roaring for more.

Tasting notes

The palate is complex with a peppery kick and the malted barley introduces a long and warming aftertaste with earthy notes of ginger, liquorice & cardamom. Finishes with sweet citrus and a faint note of Belgian hops.

Our Story

A blind tiger is another name for a speakeasy: a hidden bar where alcohol was served during Prohibition. The door of the place would have the picture of a blind tiger or a blind pig, a curiosum which punters could admire after paying a ticket. This ticket was mostly given in the shape of a token which was exchanged for a ‘free’ drink. This way, bar owners could bypass the strict prohibition laws.
