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

Couldn’t recommend enough, the experiences are excellent and the range of spirits are great. We’ve made a few orders for Christmas presents and know people will love them!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

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.

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.

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…

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

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.

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.

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!
