From day one Zane at Essex Spirits Co was asked if / when they were going to do a pink gin - and they resisted for a long time, saying they would only do it if they could do it in a quality, local & sustainable method.... So with this challenge eventually the penny dropped (or perhaps the apple dropped...either way) LOCAL JAMS! They realised that by harnessing the power of local small jam producers they could create a fully natural, local, fruit gin! So they went about sourcing some fine Essex jams from some great makers (no, not the big boys....!) and ended up literally blending these jams into one of their gin recipes.... The result? A fully natural and delightfully sweetened 'pink' gin. This is a 'proper' gin recipe made of of Juniper, Angelica, Coriander Seed, Orange Peel, Cinnamon, Nutmeg & Orris Root, alongside those delicious locally produced Essex strawberry & cherry jams and a touch of vanilla & local sea salt to balance... and that's it, no hidden nasties, no flavourings, NO colourings or artificial sweeteners! Bursting with natural flavours & colours this is a delicious drop that combines amazingly in the sunshine with cloudy lemonade (or even prosecco....).

A pretty darn marvellous gin from Leith's Electric Spirit Co., featuring Sichuan pepper and fennel seed alongside the classic juniper as botanicals. We're expecting much tastiness to occur when this is used to make a Negroni. Not only is it tasty, the Electric Spirit Co. has gone to great effort to make the packaging for Achroous Gin be infinitely recyclable or biodegradable! Excellent stuff.

Isle of Harris Gin is made on the eponymous Outer Hebrides island, using a selection of nine botanicals, including sustainably harvested sugar kelp from local sea-lochs. This imparts a subtly coastal, maritime quality to the gin, which also features juniper, angelica, cassia, coriander, cubeb, liquorice root, orange peel, and orris root. The bottle is also a sight to behold, evoking the ripples of the sea.

Presenting Raasay's handcrafted Scottish island Gin. The recipe combines ten carefully chosen botanicals, including Raasay juniper, sweet orange peel, lemon peel, and our double distilled spirit. Now in a new funky bottle that represents the geology of the Island. Bottled at 46% using water from their well, this is the first legal spirit from an island rooted in centuries of illicit distilling. A firm favourite in the shop at when shown at tastings. Serve with ice, tonic water, a sprig of Rosemary and a slice of Orange.

Dr Squid Gin has been a labour of love dating back to the spring of 2018. Real Squid Ink is a very powerful ingredient and only a minimal amount is needed both for the distilling and colour or infusion of the gin and as such lots of research and testing was done. Vanilla is added to the base of the recipe to give a well rounded mouthfeel and a light perceived sweetness, coupled with sea buckthorn for a tart, fresh fruit finish. Dr Squid Gin pours inky black but when mixed with tonic turns a vivid pink. It also makes for a great Gin Mule when poured over crushed ice and ginger beer. This unique addition is served from a copper flask engraved with the scenery, wildlife, folklore and history that surrounds the distillery.

From Pocketful of Stones Distillery in Cornwall comes this delightfully hoppy gin, showcasing Pilgrim and Galaxy hops – which is why it's called Pilgrim & Galaxy Hop Gin! Pilgrim imparts oodles of bitter flavours with lemon and pear, while Galaxy hops are known for more tropical peach and passion fruit notes. Try this one with tonic or ginger ale, or let the hops shine in a Dry Martini. Piney juniper sits alongside bright tropical fruit, citrus, peach, and balanced bitter resinous hops
