M. Gil Galán, Jerez

History

M Gil Galan was a small to medium sized family liqueur maker founded sometime in the 1920s by M Gil Galan. It was certainly listed as a liqueur company by 1933. The founder left it to his two sons Francisco and Anselmo Gil Ceballos. Initially the liqueur company was situated in the Plaza de las Cocheras, but they later moved to Calle Ferrocarril, 14.

By the mid 1960's the liqueur company had merged with a sister company M Gil Luque, and by the end of the 1980s, with over-supply and prices falling, this proud liqueur company – like so many others - was finally forced to close its doors, though M Gil Luque survives as part of Grupo Estevez.
