Founded by Gilbert Miclo, a wine merchant with a passion for fruit, the distillery has become known for its dedication to quality and its embodiment of Alsatian distilling traditions. The distillery's story is rooted in the region's history and abundance of fruit orchards. Gilbert Miclo established the distillery with two stills in his family home, driven by a desire to create eaux-de-vie of unparalleled aromatic intensity. His commitment to quality quickly earned the trust of locals and visitors. In 1970, as demand grew, Miclo transitioned from beverage distribution to focus solely on distillation, establishing the "SA Distillerie G. Miclo". Over the years, Distillerie G. Miclo has expanded its production and gained international recognition. In 1982, they partnered with a fruit juice cooperative in Tahiti-Moorea to create eaux-de-vie from exotic fruits. To meet increasing demand, a modern distillery was constructed in 1976, equipped with four stills and ample storage space. Today, Distillerie G. Miclo continues to uphold its commitment to quality and innovation. The distillery sources the finest fruits from orchards across France, ensuring consistent quality and flavor.
