Couldn’t recommend enough, the experiences are excellent and the range of spirits are great. We’ve made a few orders for Christmas presents and know people will love them!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Essex spirits Company, product the best gins in the UK. Ginocello and blood orange are firm favourites. Refills are the best idea! Always a helpful service and quick delivery when I order.

Great experience, delicious gins

We really enjoyed our tasting and distillery tour. Zane is so knowledgeable and passionate about his products and it was really interesting hearing his story and learning how Essex Spirits came to be what they are today. It was great to hear how sustainable they are and that they support other local businesses sourcing ingredients from the area. Also it’s a massive bonus that the gins are delicious and full of flavour, especially the Army and Navy!

Thank you, Zane, we had a great night!

We had a fantastic time sampling some delicious rums from Essex Spirits Company at Thirst Drinks Syndicate in Chelmsford last night. It wasn’t our planned evening but Zane was brilliant and went out of his way to ensure we had a great time. The drinks were fantastic - as were the bar staff too. We now cannot wait to return and sample some more! Thanks again, Zane!

Great tasting gin

Great tasting gin, which I've been buying for a few years now. Purchased a refill pouch this time, saved money and saved on waste, what's not to love

Replacement beers which I agreed.

Replacement beers which I agreed.
On arrival, packaging looked insufficient and I was suprised the cans hadn't leaked.
Both tins badly dented all round, so I'm not going to be able to give them as Xmas presents.

Would definitely recommend this!

I got this for my husband as a birthday gift and due to various things we had to re schedule which the company were very helpful with! The experience was better than expected and we both really enjoyed it. Very knowledgeable, well organised, great set up and great experience! Love that they really work hard on sourcing local as much as possible. Would definitely recommend!

Tasted a number of the products on sale by ESC before making my own Gin.

All products superb…. Gin, Gin o Cello, Summer Cup and the outstanding spiced rum.

Superb day and great products, highly recommend.

A local company distilling great…

A local company distilling great tasting spirits with a sustainability ethos.
I discovered Essex Spirits Company when I attended one of their tasting evenings. It was a very informative and fun evening with some great tastings.
Although priced a little more expensive than the supermarket the taste is worth it.

We had an excellent tasting experience…

We had an excellent tasting experience by the owner Zane who told us how he set up his business in his grandmothers garage during Covid lockdown. He cares as much as is possible for the environment and sources his ingredients locally as far as possible. The gins are all excellent and I will certainly be getting refills. I have today enjoyed a sunny afternoon in the garden sipping the Army & Navy dry. Superb. Next will be the Gin-O-Cello. I thoroughly recommend that you give his unique Gins a try.

A Gin For All Tastes

Zain visited our u3a gin group and told us about the history of his company accompanied by a number of tasters. We tried 5 different gins of varying flavours to accommodate all palates, my favourite was the Army and Navy, even hubby who is not a gin drinker liked it too.
