Review & giveaway in collaboration with Gin Explorer.
As a food blogger I am given the opportunity to try out all sorts of new and upcoming products. One of the most fantastic things to drop through my letterbox recently was the new subscription box from Gin Explorer, the brain child of the folk behind The Gin Festival – yes, there are really gin festivals throughout the year dotted around the UK! One of these days I’ll be lucky enough to attend one!
Gin Explorer is a brand new and exciting way to sample, explore and learn about gins from across the globe from the comfort of your own home.
Become an armchair explorer and join the Gin Explorer journey to receive a selection of different gin miniatures each and every month direct through your door. Each high quality gin is hand selected by your personal tour guide to take you on a culinary journey; thrilling your taste buds and awakening your senses. A witty and very amusing leaflet detailing all about the heritage and origin of the gins will your gin knowledge, and passion, along the way.
With the entire globe being explored, Gin Explorer assures that gin experts and novices alike will discover a delicious variety of rare, classic and unusual gins.
The Gin Explorer experience also includes surprises each month including mixers for you to experiment with and other gin treats.
We were given the opportunity to try out the April subscription box which contained four fantastic gin miniatures of English origin: 6 o’clock Gin from Bristol, England; Ish London Dry Gin from London, England; the fantastically named Zymurgorium’s Manchester Gin from Manchester, England, and the Little Scarlet Strawberry Gin Liqueur from Essex, England – each utterly wonderful and remarkably different in flavouring and finish.
There was also a bottle of 1724 tonic water (did you know that the greatest quinine can be found at precisely 1724 feet on the Inca Trail in the Andes?) and a miniature jar of marmalade along with a recipe for The Breakfast Martini. True story – a breakfast martini! How utterly civilized is that? 🙂
All in all we were very impressed with the Gin Explorer subscription box. A great deal of thought and research has gone into creating the accompanying leaflet – it’s clearly written by people with a passion for gin and its enthusiasm is infectious.
Subscriptions start from £24.99 for a rolling monthly subscription, or you can buy a three month or 12 month subscription. I think this would be a fantastic gift idea for any gin fan.

I use to have a girlfriend who claimed that Gin gave you nosebleeds so it wasn’t until last year that I actually had a glass of Gin… at over 40 years old. I’m now a convert and would love the opportunity to sample a few more flavours …

Nicki Simpson says
Gin is the first drink I got drunk on as a teenager, I had to be carried out to my mams car who was very very angry….I have never drank gin since but I believe it is time I gave it a second chance
Kerry Webber says
I don’t know if this is amusing or not, but my nan used to drink a lot of Gin and tonic in here life. She said gin was capable of making even the strongest women cry! I used to laugh at her and call her crazy. But, I swear, every time I drink Gin I get so emotional. I either love everybody or hate everybody. She was right, and I miss her so much. She died before I was old enough to drink, but I’m sure she would be laughing at me and saying, ‘I told you so!!’
