Prompt on time delivery and great that I could refill my empty gin o cello bottle. This makes a great drink with prosecco and a lower alcohol one with sparkling water.
Went with friends
Went with friends as a gift to them. We had a really good time, the tour is very interesting, Zane knows his stuff and has good local sources for his flavours and ideas for keeping it fresh. We enjoyed several tastings and bought plenty! We will be back.

Attended the distillery talk and tour on Saturday, given by Matt who made it most interesting and informative. After a welcome drink then tasting of the latest gins rums and vodka, including a delightful Gin-o-Cello (which I will be refilling later today!) the methodology was fascinating to hear about and see, making all local, with quality and sustainable

The Blood Orange Gin is absolutely excellent and your local delivery service is fabulous, thank you!
Great local company
Great product and it’s nice to be able to buy from a local producer.
I booked this tour as a last minute…
I booked this tour as a last minute Christmas stocking filler for my husband. I booked it for the end of March. I’m not sure if he was very keen on going. I was the designated driver so he could taste the spirits. When we had finished he said he enjoyed the tour very much. He bought 2 bottles of spirits and was really happy on the way home. He has spoken about it to friends and hopefully they will enjoy the experience too.
Fantastic products and brilliant customer service!
Fantastic products and brilliant customer service. Zane was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to help supply a gift for a friend; having it delivered to their Thirst bar to aid collection.

It was so informative and interesting
It was so informative and interesting. The drink was amazing, beautiful flavours and great samples. Highly recommended.
Fun and interesting evening
An informative and very interesting tour. Zane was an excellent guide through the distillery and opened my eyes to different flavours and spirits. I would highly recommend doing the tour and making some purchases after. Great for a pressie or just something different to do.
Like alcohol ? Love this !
A great evening learning about the company, their distillation process & making our own bottles of gin & Rum. They made it a fun evening & with plenty of tasters along the way ! I dont want to give away all the secrets of the evening, you need to experience it for yourselves !
The service is great and the rum is so smooth!
The service is great and the rum is outstanding, if your in Essex it’s really worth doing one of the tours at this little distillery, the gins and rum are really lovely.
Great experience, delicious gins
We really enjoyed our tasting and distillery tour. Zane is so knowledgeable and passionate about his products and it was really interesting hearing his story and learning how Essex Spirits came to be what they are today. It was great to hear how sustainable they are and that they support other local businesses sourcing ingredients from the area. Also it’s a massive bonus that the gins are delicious and full of flavour, especially the Army and Navy!
Thank you, Zane, we had a great night!
We had a fantastic time sampling some delicious rums from Essex Spirits Company at Thirst Drinks Syndicate in Chelmsford last night. It wasn’t our planned evening but Zane was brilliant and went out of his way to ensure we had a great time. The drinks were fantastic - as were the bar staff too. We now cannot wait to return and sample some more! Thanks again, Zane!
Great tasting gin
Great tasting gin, which I've been buying for a few years now. Purchased a refill pouch this time, saved money and saved on waste, what's not to love
Replacement beers which I agreed.
Replacement beers which I agreed.
On arrival, packaging looked insufficient and I was suprised the cans hadn't leaked.
Both tins badly dented all round, so I'm not going to be able to give them as Xmas presents.
