first order, very happy

This is the first time I've ordered from them and I'm really pleased. The gin is smooth and clean, with a lovely floral note that comes through with tonic. I was a bit nervous about the delivery being cold-chain or anything fussy but it arrived in a sturdy box with the bottle safe inside. The checkout was simple and the confirmation came through straight away. I'll be ordering again.

Better than the supermarket one

Compared to the supermarket own brand I usually grab, this is a clear step up, the citrus comes through much more. Ordered on my phone during my lunch break, took about two minutes. Arrived in good nick. Nothing to complain about, just nice gin.

Better than the usual brand

Compared to the big brand I'd normally get at the shop, this one tastes way smoother and less like nail varnish. Ordered it on the site last night and it's already on my doorstep. Pretty good value too. Got my mates hooked.

needed a gin for mixing

I needed a gin that wouldn't get lost in a bucket of tonic for a big summer barbecue, so I went for this one. It keeps its character with ice and fizz, which is what I was after. The order was a little slow to process on the day, but it's sorted now. Delivery arrived on time and well protected.

Bought the citrus gin

Picked up the citrus gin for a Friday night in and it's proper good. Tastes fresh, lemon peel and a bit of spice. Checkout was easy, came the next day. Cheers.

Better than my usual

Compared to my usual London dry it's a bit more floral, which I liked. Ordered on my phone in the car park, quick and easy. Took a day longer than the site said but no real drama. Decent gin.

The navy strength

Bought the navy strength for a cocktail night and it was spot on, proper weight and strong flavour without being harsh. Known the category for years so I know what to look for, and this hits the mark. Order process was straightforward and it arrived well packed.

decent gin, fair price

Good gin for the money, I'd say it's a solid buy if you like a juniper-led bottle. Bought a bottle for a dinner party and it went down well. The only niggle was the delivery took a day longer than the site said, which was a bit annoying but not a big deal. Would get it again.

Really good, will get again

Honestly this is so good, ordered it for a mates pre drinks and it was gone in about an hour lol. Delivery was quick, came the next day, and the bottle arrived in one piece. Easy checkout too, didn't have to make an account or anything. Tastes great with tonic and a bit of cucumber, will definitely be getting it again.

Needed something for a negroni

I needed a gin with enough backbone to stand up in a negroni, as the cheaper ones I'd tried just went flat against the vermouth. This one holds its own nicely and the bitterness is clean. Ordered it with the usual vermouth and campari and the ratio sits well. Arrived quickly and in good order.

lovely gin for the price

The first thing that struck me was how carefully the bottle was wrapped, not a scratch on it when it arrived. I've been buying gin for my husband's birthday for years and I did find the botanicals were well balanced, quite smooth, not harsh at all. Delivery was prompt and the staff were polite when I rang with a question about the order. I'd happily order again.

Better than the usual

Compared it with a couple of other craft gins before I went for this one, and the citrus gin here came out on top for me. It's a bit more expensive than the supermarket options but the flavour is much brighter, the lemon peel really comes through in a G&T. Ordering on the site was straightforward and the delivery turned up when they said it would.

pricier than the others but worth it

Compared it with two or three other craft gins before I bought, and this was a little dearer than the rest. The flavour does justify it though, it's smoother and the botanicals are more interesting. Sign up for the newsletter was quick. Delivery took a couple of days which was fine.

Cheeky little gin

Yeah this is proper good, got it for a Friday night in with the girls and we went through it fast. Tastes smooth with no burn, makes a lovely G&T. Checkout was quick and it arrived in a couple of days. Would order again for sure.

Bought the sloe gin

Got the sloe gin for a mate's leaving do and it went down a treat. Tasted proper, not that sugary syrup stuff. Ordered Tuesday, was here Thursday. Will be getting more.

Loyal customer for years

I've been ordering from them for close on ten years now, so the detail that stands out to me is how consistent the bottles still are, same smooth finish as always. The renewal emails are a bit frequent, but that's a small thing. The team on the phone have always been patient when I've needed help. Delivery has been reliable every time, bottles arrive in one piece.

The gift set

Got the gift set for my boyfriend's birthday and he was made up with it. The little tasting bottles are a nice touch. The order took a bit longer to confirm than I expected, so I rang them and they sorted it out quickly, though it did put me on edge a bit. Would get it again.

Gin does the job

I was after a decent bottle for the home bar that wouldn't cost the earth, and I thought this would be a good middle ground. The gin is fine, nothing wrong with it, though the price per bottle is higher than I'd like once delivery is added on. Arrived on time and undamaged. A bit steep for what it is, really.

Needed something for a gift

I needed a gift quick because I'd forgotten my sister's birthday till the Sunday night, and the site had a gift set I could get delivered by Wednesday. Ordered it late on the Monday and it turned up exactly when they said. Packaging was nice too, she was chuffed. Honestly saved me, will use them again for sure.
