Is it Gin, Is it Lemoncello, No! It's Both!
These Guys! Bought a Gin-o-cello. Oh my days. It is the one! tried it once and will definitely be back for more! makes Friday nights a little more special. Friday night, Friday night!
Hand delivered the next day.
Would definitely recommend this!
I got this for my husband as a birthday gift and due to various things we had to re schedule which the company were very helpful with! The experience was better than expected and we both really enjoyed it. Very knowledgeable, well organised, great set up and great experience! Love that they really work hard on sourcing local as much as possible. Would definitely recommend!

Tasted a number of the products on sale by ESC before making my own Gin.

A local company distilling great tasting spirits with a sustainability ethos.
I discovered Essex Spirits Company when I attended one of their tasting evenings. It was a very informative and fun evening with some great tastings.
Although priced a little more expensive than the supermarket the taste is worth it.

We had an excellent tasting experience…
We had an excellent tasting experience by the owner Zane who told us how he set up his business in his grandmothers garage during Covid lockdown. He cares as much as is possible for the environment and sources his ingredients locally as far as possible. The gins are all excellent and I will certainly be getting refills. I have today enjoyed a sunny afternoon in the garden sipping the Army & Navy dry. Superb. Next will be the Gin-O-Cello. I thoroughly recommend that you give his unique Gins a try.
A Gin For All Tastes
Zain visited our u3a gin group and told us about the history of his company accompanied by a number of tasters. We tried 5 different gins of varying flavours to accommodate all palates, my favourite was the Army and Navy, even hubby who is not a gin drinker liked it too.
Heartily recommend
Met these guys at a local festival and they are an honest, passionate bunch who make delicious beverages!
Fantastic local company
Fantastic local start-up, adding something new and exciting to Chelmsford. Great to see the emphasis on high-quality, sustainable and local produce. A real asset to our local area and delicious gin!
