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

We had a fantastic informative tour. Zane shared his passion for his creative spirits. We tried 10 different delicious spirits on the tour. We would recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys spirits and the creative flavour s Essex spirits has to offer.

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!
