Wish we could have bought more, however needs must and all that. Exceptional Gin and exceptionally well packed - really fast delivery. It's always a pleasure opening the box.

Great gins have only got 4 bottles left (different flavours). Very flavoursome gins. The seasonal flavours are top drawer. I would highly recommend booking their “gin jolly” if you are visiting Edinbu... See more

I first encountered Pickering’s Gin in the shape of their Christmas Baubles. This led to a distillery tour and sampling some of their innovative flavours. (They’ll never get me to try the Brussels Spr... See more

1947

Hi, I've had my latest delivery of '47 gin, thanks. We keep a good selection of gins but the 1947 is the standout favourite.

One smashed bottle, but …. Pickerings were kind enough to offer to replace.

Last year I bought the wonderful Christmas tree baubles for my advent calendars This year, the little xmas bottles. Not quite as impressive containers but hope gin is as good. Unfortunately one bottle was smashed when I picked up the box which had been thrown over the garden gate on delivery. Pickerings offered to replace but unfortunately I had already deleted the order number they required.

Hi Ab, I am sorry to hear one of your bottles smashed. Unfortunately, the care of our products in transit is down to the courier service, not us. However, I would be happy to replace your set if you could email marketing@summerhalldistillery.com with your order number. Thanks.

It was great!

It was great, and I have to admit, I became a fan of the gin. Bought it a few times since, and I'm sure I'll keep buying it.
If you ever get a chance, don't miss it.

North to South

North to South.

Getting things ready for our regular weeks holiday in Cornwall. One or 2 things that have to be checked, ‘do we need to put an order in for our favourite Pickering’s gin’ I checked the stocks! and have to order a bottle, delivered a couple of days later, we were kept informed all way.
Here we are now enjoying our Pickering’s gin and tonic down in Cornwall looking over the harbour in Looe. We can’t say your gin has travelled from John O’Groats to Land End but it’s has travelled over 500 miles and it does travels well🍸.

This gin is superb

This gin is superb. Is it better than its rivals? Although until recently I would not regard .myself as a 'gin' person, I would say "Yes"! (I would say more, but your courier decided to divert my order to a local store that I can't get to.)

What can I say about this gin

What can I say about this gin? That it’s great? Yes! The 1947 is my fave, with the Scottish Botanicals a very close second. The red top is also great, oh and strawberry and pink pepper too….The bottles are amazing, when empty put some lights in, oh, and they are now offering to refill the empty bottles, very green!
It’s local, in Edinburgh, celebrating fantastic gin, an amazing city, and offering gin tours too.
What more needs to be said!

Always first class

We buy from Pickerings regularly and they never disappoint. Fabulous products, the 1947 has to be one of the best gins available and the best delivery service.

Fantastic!

This is the first time I have purchased from Pickerings online after trying and buying their gin at a tasting session. The prompt delivery was made with every care taken to protect the bottle of 1947, my favourite of all gins! I will certainly be ordering from them again
