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.
Read moreI 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.
Read moreI'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.
Read moreI 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
