Is it gin o’clock yet? Hell yeah it is!!! It’s always gin
time on my watch! If you haven’t noticed- I love gin! Yes that’s right I am a
gin jenny! So when I saw Craft Gin Club on Dragon’s Den I had to get a piece of
the action! I set up a subscription and here without further ado is my first
ever Gin of the Month!
So what is the Craft Gin Club I hear you ask? Well the Craft
Gin Club especially select the finest small-batch gins in the world and send
them alongside lovely gourmet treats and a copy of their club magazine to their
members. It is a different gin every month hence the Gin of the Month! How exciting!!
It is a gin lover’s dream! The subscriptions are either monthly, bi-monthly or
quarterly. Each Gin of the Month Box costs £40 with free p&p. I found this
to be a brilliant price as one of my favourite gins costs me £35 a bottle so to
get a full sized bottle of gin plus tonic and snacks…bargain! I also chose the
quarterly subscription…I don’t have the shelving capacity for a new bottle
every month-wish I did though!
This was my first box and boy was I excited and just in time
for my birthday weekend too! So what did I get? Well…
Full sized bottle of Blue Bottle artisan Dry Gin
200ml bottle of Franklin & Sons Ltd Natural Indian Tonic Water
50ml Dry Vermouth…YOU CAN’T HANDLE VERMOUTH!!
36g bag of Joe & Seph’s gourment popcorn infused with Gin & Tonic
10g bag of G&Tea green tea leaves
Ginned! Magazine
The Blue Bottle gin comes from the amazing Three Fingers Distillery on Guernsey and contains a unique mixture of aromatics and botanicals to create a beautiful tasting gin. With the tradition juniper present but not overpowering there is also hints of local flowers grown in the region and spices such as nutmeg and cubeb pepper. It is recommended to drink this with pink grapefruit but alas I has none and settled for lemon but it still tasted fantastic! But be warned! With 47% ABV it packs a punch!
The popcorn from Joe & Sephs’s was beautiful! Lovely
crunchy caramel popcorn with the flavours of a G&T it is guaranteed to put
a smile on gin and popcorn lovers faces! It was a perfect little snack to have
after my dinner with a glass of Blue Bottle G&T.
I haven’t yet tried the G&Tea but judging from the smell
I really can’t wait!! The aromas just fill the air when you open the pack and
it’ll certainly turn some heads when I brew a cup later today in work.
So there you have it, the Gin of the Month subscription box
from Craft Gin Club. What’s stopping you gin lovers? Get subscribing,
discovering and tasting the amazing gins of the world!
Look out for November when I get my next lovely gin!

Yum, I should attempt to find a whisky subscription box! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there are some out there but I don't think you need a bigger whisky collection haha
DeleteThat popcorn is to die for - we always get it in Centerparcs! I love the idea of alcohol coming to your home monthly and you could build up a nice little collection (If you can abstain from drinking the whole bottle in a month!)
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing popcorn!!! So moreish! My subscription is every 3 months so need to abstain for much longer to build up the collection ha!
DeleteI am not a Gin lover but I love the idea of this box! Enjoy :)
