“Excellent, I have recently rejoined the club (just prior to the renaming) and I’m back to enjoying the regular surprises, trying gins I’ve never heard of, paired with carefully chosen snacks and mixers. I’ve even tried to get my brother involved by gifting him a rum box. Highly recommended for anyone who likes to try new drinks combinations.”

“A review request normally makes me hit the 'delete email' button, but how could I not review CGC now the Curious Drinker! Mystery boxes of superb gin have arrived on my doorstep for more than 10 years now and we've loved every one, ok.. some more than others but rarely one we've not liked. Always brilliant value, sometimes EXCEPTIONAL value! Remember that superb Perfume Trees gin from HK?? We've been introduced to some wonderful small batch gins that have become firm favourites in our house. With masses of extra goodies in each box it's just the best treat. Customer service is SECOND TO NONE! Always friendly, efficient and personal. A recent delivery issue (why use Evri?!!) was resolved in no time at all. If you love gin as much as we do then membership is a no brainer... oh, other spirit boxes are available and probably as fantastic as the gin boxes.... but why wouldn't you just drink gin ?? So versatile :) Thanks CGC/TCD for a great decade of fabulous service.”

“Received a gift voucher for 2 months subscription. First delivery was superb. Followed the cocktail instructions and enjoyed an evening of beautiful gin cocktails with the snacks included. Looking forward to my second delivery. Would love to try the rum one. Would be a nice idea if I could have this as my second month. I think I’ll be gifting these to family members.”

“Having been a member of the craft gin club since it started on the whole the products have been exceptional. Just been disappointed with the rum box. There are three different type of rum, but all the customer gets is just one type. If you could vary it then I would return”

Hi Karen, Thank you for your review. We've looked into your account and can see that the most recent box sent to you was our June box, which was not Christmas-themed. It's possible there may have been some confusion with the contents or accompanying materials, but based on your account history, we can't see that a Christmas-themed box was sent in April. If you'd like us to look into this further, please email us at members@thecuriousdrinker.com with a few more details or a photo of the box you received, and we'll be more than happy to investigate for you. Our team is always happy to help. Kind Regards, James Memberships Executive

Hi Joshua, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience. We appreciate that the value of a subscription can be subjective, and while many members enjoy the opportunity to discover new and premium drinks each month, we understand that it may not be the right fit for everyone. We're also sorry that you found the cancellation process difficult. We do ask members to call us to cancel, not to make the process harder, but so that we can answer any final questions, gather feedback, and ensure everything is processed correctly. Our cancellation calls take around 2 minutes on average, including any wait time, and we send a confirmation email while you're still on the call so you have immediate confirmation that your membership has been cancelled. Regarding our taster box, the offer and any ongoing membership details are clearly outlined during the sign-up process, but we appreciate your feedback and will continue looking at ways to make information as clear as possible for customers. Kind Regards, Sophie Memberships Executive

“Yet to receive my order, but customer service was prompt in getting back to me, regarding my concerns and was assured that they haven’t sent box out yet but assured me it would be sent to correct address”

“I only ordered a taster box and found I'd unwittingly signed up to a subscription. Had to telephone to end the subscription as there is no facility to do this online. Had to be fairly persistent on the phone to get the agent to end the subscription. Why does everything have to be a subscription now?”

“How can I write a review when I haven't received even the initial taster box that was ordered and paid for by my daughter for my birthday present. Disgusting service, would never recommend!”

Hi Elizabeth, We're very sorry to hear this, and we completely understand your frustration. It sounds as though you've received a review request before receiving your taster box, which is certainly not the experience we'd want for anyone, especially when it was purchased as a birthday gift. Without your details, we're unable to look into what may have happened with the delivery, but we'd be keen to investigate this for you and get it resolved as quickly as possible. Please contact our team at members@thecuriousdrinker.com with the relevant details, and we'll be happy to help. We sincerely apologise for the disappointment caused and hope we'll have the opportunity to put things right. Kind Regards, James Memberships Executive
