DEMOCRATISING EXCELLENCE, ONE GLASS AT A TIME

MULTI-AWARD WINNING

We’ve won loads of awards for our gin and we’re very proud of them. James was even recognised as a 'Gin Ambassador' (whatever that means) at an awards ceremony where we drunk a great deal and listened, dumbstruck, to a Four Tops tribute band. On the whole though, we're most proud of what our customers say...

Reviews on Junip

Asian Parsnip

“An absolutely fantastic gin! It is extremely flavourful and works very well in a Negroni. Would happily buy again and again and again.”

Theo

Navy Strength

“An exemplary gin - simply gorgeous, best enjoyed in the company of friends! (or strangers, depending on availability).”

Daniel

London Drizzle

“Thank you for this wonderful gin. I feel like I'm having a drink at my local pub in Richmond on a rainy day. And I've never even been to England."

Kevin

California Dreamgin'

“Excellent work with the gin! It is unique in a fantastic way. Thank you for putting so much effort into a delicious product!”

ENGINEERED IN WILTSHIRE

The idea to make some gin came to me soon after buying half of my local pub. It was going to close and, had it done so, living in the countryside would have been pointless. I persuaded a couple of friends to get involved and we all agreed that it seemed like an obvious and relatively straightforward thing to do. But of course it isn’t straightforward.
