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.

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

Saving the world, one gin at a time…

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) and was delighted to discover that, as well as taking my original glass bottle into Thirst Drinks Syndicate, a refill is now also available in a handy pouring pouch which can then be recycled. A company with a great environmental ethos, and superb products. I can sip on my favourite tipple, safe in the knowledge that I am saving money AND the environment, one gin at a time!!

A fascinating tour

A fascinating tour. Zane's personal account of how he built the business from his gran's garage as well as how he began creating and distilling, is well worth a visit. Plenty of drinks on hand give you a flavour of what he has to offer make this a very good value tour. I loved his focus on sustainability and local produce. The only criticism I have is that there is quite a lot of standing, but given the space he has, I can't see how he could overcome this. Nevertheless, great fun. I was very pleased to support this local business.

'BIG UP' Zane & Co!!

I am a bit biased as I learnt about Zane and his team with all the good they do around sustainability and supporting local businesses and charity in Chelmsford and the greater Essex area. However, not as surprised as when wifey gave up a birthday gift to visit the distillery (with her) and sample the raw product. Fantastic and enlightening. DON'T drive there and have a SOUND LUNCH afterwards. 'Big Up!' to Zane from a fellow Hackney turned Essex 'Boy'....and my Dad (an older Hackney 'Boy') was absolutely over the moon with his 88th birthday gift. Many Thanks - Kevin & Vicky.

Amazing create your own spirit…

Amazing create your own spirit experience which we were lucky enough to have to ourselves as another group cancelled. Zane was interesting, friendly and knowledgeable. Can't recommend this highly enough!

Make Your Own Spirit Experience

We did a “Make Your Own Spirit” session. We received a warm welcome with a complimentary drink before having a tour of the distillery. We then had a gin tasting before we were set loose to create our very own bottle of gin. We had great fun during our visit, we were well looked after and each part of the experience was just the right duration. We particularly enjoyed creating our own gin from the many and varied ingredients available to us. A thoroughly enjoyable experience, thank you to Zane and the team.
