GIN ME exists to explore the worlds best gins in the simplest and most affordable way.
Every month we’ll send our members 100ml of the finest gin around, alongside tasting notes, cocktail recipes and live tastings with distilleries and bartenders.
Your latest gin should be with you now, and it’s a gooden! We are visiting Kent at one of the most architecturally spectacular gin distilleries that we have come across. Copper Rivet are part of a small group of gin distilleries who make everything onsite, and Dockyard Gin is the perfect summer gin with locally sourced botanicals such as elderflower really shining through - summer in a G&T! ☀️🍸💚
It’s gin time once again! We are visiting a new London distillery based in one of the capital’s most vibrant and diverse boroughs. We are excited for you to try this gem from Brixton Gin 🍸💚
This month’s gin packs a punch. Throw in the unusual botanical of smoked oak into the mix and you have yourself a gin that will play sweet sea shanties in your ear while lashing you with a cat o’ nine tails!
We recommend mixing this one sparingly in a Negroni, Martinez, or other strong, vermouth and bitter based drink �
BeaFort VS is a British gin modelled on the old Navy Strength gins of yesteryear. It was common aboard Navy ships to carry ‘overproof’ spirits in case of spillages that might render gunpowder useless. The traditional strength at which spirit was deemed sufficiently flammable was 100 proof, which in old British money was 57% alcohol by volume - 50% stronger than some gins!
This May we are sharing with you a gin like no other, with a smoky character to match an impressively high strength. Brace the main sail and brace yourself! ⚓️🏴☠️ Beaufort Spirit
Holyrood Distillery in Edinburgh marks a significant point in the city’s distilling history, being the first single malt whisky distillery to open in the capital for almost a century. However, it’s their awesome Height of Arrows gin that we’ve been sipping this month, we 💚 it!
The name of our latest gin, Height of Arrows, is the literal translation of Àrd-Na-Said, the Gaelic name for the Edinburgh mountain Arthur’s Seat. Standing at 251m, the height of Arthur’s Seat is said to be the furthest distance an archer could shoot a bow. Holyrood Distillery
Join us for this month's live tasting of Height of Arrows gin. We will be joined by Elliot Rogerson from Holyrood Distillery in Edinburgh to talk through this fascinating gin and the story of its creation. See you there!
This month’s gin gives us powerful but well defined juniper, with slight citric and herbal notes.
Just three botanicals go into Height of Arrows: juniper, beeswax, and salt. An enormous amount of complexity is achieved here that belies the simplicity of the recipe. We love it.
This month we are enjoying a cracking gin from one of our favourite new Scottish distilleries, located right in the heart of Edinburgh - Height of Arrows from Holyrood Distillery Like many of their contemporaries, Holyrood are making gin as well as whisky (it takes a while for whisky to mature after all!) - and a damn fine gin at that 💚
We hope you’ve enjoyed March’s gin as much as we have. Jim & Tonic’s Szechuan Pepper & Mango Gin is a gin that combines Eastern flavours with traditional gin botanicals to great effect. The overall result is florality, with the oft fragrance of jasmine combining with light and fruity mango aromas plus the vibrant zing of szechuan pepper. This is the perfect gin to welcome in the spring!
Join us for this month's live tasting, where we will be joined by Jim & Tonic to talk all things gin, taste their fabulous Asian inspired gin, and mix up some cocktails. A great chance to learn more about what you're drinking and meet the makers.
Jim & Tonic | Jasmine, Szechuan Pepper & Mango Gin
🍸Try it in a Jasmine cocktail or put it in a gin fizz and garnish with fresh mango.
Jim & Tonic have become one of London’s most visible gin brands over the past few years, with events and pop-ups, and a growing roster of gin bars. We like their style, their commitment to sustainability, and their fearlessness when it comes to experimenting with new ingredients
Jim & Tonic | Jasmine, Szechuan Pepper & Mango Gin 🥭🍃
This might be the most unusual gin we’ve featured so far at Gin Me, and before tasting it we had concerns about tropical flavours and intense florals. But the featured botanicals are balanced and have a nice harmony with one another. The mango is more apparent on the nose, while on the palate the pepper really shows itself. We hope you like it!
“By shifting our focus to climate change and biodiversity loss we not only want to minimise our impact on the environment but also inspire and demonstrate to others the potential options available and how they might take advantage of these challenges.” - Nàdar Gin Master Distiller Kirsty Black.

Nàdar Gin - we think smooth, with a distinctive flavour profile that balances classic juniper notes with a fresh, vegetal sweetness, making it a versatile spirit for a wide range of cocktails. How did you enjoy yours? 💚
Nàdar Gin and the Arbikie Distillery represent the cutting edge of sustainable spirit production. Their commitment to innovation, sustainability, and quality gives a taste of what’s possible when tradition meets innovation, with a focus on environmental responsibility.
We're excited to be joined by Arbikie Distillery's master distillery Kirsty Black and brand ambassador Gaz Jones for this month's tasting. We'll be talking about this groundbreaking gin, the wider Arbikie Distillery, and making some drinks with Nadar too. See you there!
GOING LIVE tonight from 8pm with Arbikie Distillery Master Distiller Kirsty Black to chat all things Nàdar Climate Positive Gin. We can’t wait!
Tasting notes for Nadar Gin highlight its crisp and clean palate, with hints of citrus and a subtle sweetness that comes from the peas 🫛. It finishes with a gentle herbaceousness, making it perfect for gin enthusiasts seeking something out of the ordinary. We 💚 it!
This month’s gin is Nàdar | Climate Positive and comes to us from the Arbikie Estate. The estate grows and harvests most of the ingredients used to make its gin and whisky, with special emphasis on sustainable practices. This extends even to the base material used to make Nàdar gin.
In the gin world we talk a lot about the botanicals that are used to flavour gin, but rarely do we touch on the ingredients used to make the spirit itself. This is because most distilleries buy-in a neutral grain spirit (typically wheat based) from a large, industrial producer.
Arbikie have approached their base spirit in a totally different way, producing the world’s first climate positive spirit and perhaps catalysing a change in the spirits industry that may revolutionise production worldwide.

Whether you’ve enjoyed yours with your favourite tonic, or have taken Tom’s advice from our live tasting and made a Red Snapper (🙋🏻♀️Yep we did!) we hope you’ve enjoyed this awesome gin from a hidden gem that is reshaping the world of spirits: the Illicit Gin Distillery.

LIVE TASTING Tonight from 8pm, we will be joined by Illicit founder Darran Edmonds. The tasting will be broadcast through our channels on YouTube and Facebook…tune in!
We do love it when a gin not only tastes great but looks awesome too. Illicit nails both taste and brand 👌🏽Paying homage to an era of secret distilleries and speakeasies, we love the Victorian medicine bottle shape and Hogarth’s Gin Lane etching, contrasted with bold iconography.
Combining traditional practices with modern flair, Illicit London Dry Gin is an archetypal London Dry with citrus and spice supporting juniper-forward character. We are lining our up for a Clover Club tonight, how will you drink yours…?
Illicit Gin Distillery boasts a range of gins, each with its own unique character. The flagship product, the London Dry Gin, is a classic, juniper-led concoction, with subtle hints of spice and citrus 🍋
