Our exclusive Pothecary ‘Thai Blend’ Gin is making a festive appearance! 🎄 Martin’s creativity struck when 25 labels gave him a playful wink, resulting in the final release of Pothecary ‘Thai Blend’. A handful of bottles available on our website and at Christmas events.

can't name it, but a gin brand is about to release a new variant... maybe this time it will taste like gin and not a fruit vodka, maybe even have some juniper in it, and maybe dispense with the 'secret' nonsense... know what it is? 🤨 may rhyme with shockmans!

I’d love your advice on this graphic please, for those in the wine business who understand costs & margins. It’s for my customer newsletter to go out shortly. Fairly urgent because I only thought about it this morning. Thoughts welcome: DM if you prefer, or reply. Many thanks 🙏

so, I thought we had done with gimmicks to do with gin... how wrong I was! If you have £45 to spend on gin you could get a 50cl GINome - a garden gnome shaped 'bottle' with 38%abv standard gin inside delivered, or, a 50cl World Class, organic, Artisan Gin at 44.8%abv, you decide!
