There are many great reasons to like living in my adopted home city of Chelmsford but being able to refill my bottle of Gin-o-cello is probably the best! I'm on my third refill (no judgement please)... See more

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.

Highly recommended Tour & Tasting

Highly recommended. Will definitely visit again soon. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff, so well presented. Absolute gem of a find. These guys are all about quality, sustainability and locally sourced ingredients. Such an awesome experience. Can't wait to go back. Excited to try any and all new releases. Officially a customer for life.

Loved my Winter Cup

Great customer service this time round too. I received an email to advise me of the upcoming delivery and lo and behold, my bottle of Winter Cup arrived in the evening. No need to open the door casually holding my Escrima fighting sticks this time as I was warned. :-)

Professional & knowledgeable service

I visited the distillery to pick up an order for a selection of gins and experienced a warm welcome together with a professional and knowledgeable service. It is the type of local business that I hope to continue to support.

Recommended, a small business with a personal touch.

The customer service was excellent and the items were delivered very promptly. I bought the items as Christmas presents so I don't know what they taste like but the bottles are very attractive. I will buy from this company again as I would like to try some of their products myself and I was very impressed by the staff I spoke to about my order.

Amazing citrus gin

I’ve only tasted the Essex citrus gin at The Bishops Cave wine bar.
I enjoyed it so much that I ordered a couple of bottles on my return to the northeast. They arrived yesterday. Fantastic free delivery within two days.
Well packaged. Thank you.👍

You can make your own gin!

My fiance & I visited Essex Spirits Co distillery to make our own gin for our wedding day and it was so much fun. The whole experience was great and really informative, the team are super friendly and you can get really creative and play around with a lot of different flavours. Once you have finished creating your gin, you get to name it, write out the first label and do your own wax seal and take that bottle home and then you just order the rest for your wedding day and they take care of it all. Highly recommend!

Really good service

Really good service - they had a delivery near me so offered to drop my Gin and tumbler to the door. Nice touch ! The bottle lid is sealed with wax and the Essex emblem embossed into the top which I think looks quite cool.
