Lovely Local Gin

There are so many craft gins around, it refreshing 😂 to come across a decent local one. Ideal for a smart present.

Sent as a gift

The recipient responded "It is gooooood, So good I've hidden the bottle from R" his wife.
Mission accomplished I'd say, we will both order again!

Lovely flavour

I tried this Gin for the first time last night. I tried to pin down the distinct flavours but couldn’t on the first attempt. It was quite unusual but very enjoyable.

In addition I like the efforts towards sustainability.

Lovely bottle.
