Rubbens Poppies Gin is a highly aromatic style with a secret recipe created in East Flanders, Belgium with the influence of an British soldier serving in the Army.  The ingredients involved are the obligatory juniper, alongside star anise, coriander, cardamom and Angelica.  These spices and herbs make for a delicious, refreshing gin with a clean smooth taste.

About the Producer

During the First World War, Charles Rubbens distilled fine Flemish ‘gin’ in his famous distillery. This exceptional spirit was made with only outstanding grains. The characteristic flavour was the result of a refined balanced blend of selected spices disclosed to him by a British soldier. The recipe is still kept secretly safe by the Rubbens family and it’s descendant master-distillers. Now named ‘Poppies Gin’ in tribute to those who fought, this gin was a beloved delight enjoyed behind the frontlines by British soldiers and their officers. It gave them strength and courage, and let the forget for a moment the hard and cruel war.
