“While the gin boxes are a delight to receive, when anything goes wrong, the customer service isn't acceptable and falls very short of the expectations of a brilliant brand. Not a one-off experience either. Final straw today and I have cancelled my membership.”

“Not easy to spend points. You have to spend a lot of money to use them. You should be able to save them up and use the whole amount on one bottle of gin.”

“Spiced Rum was nice, but quite mild in flavour was expecting more spice.”

“The treats were all fantastic and while I love dark, golden and white rum, I dislike spiced rum otherwise it would have been 5 stars.”

“I bought the rum box for my husband who enjoys trying new rums, but is not keen on spiced rum so was disappointed with the rum.”

“snacks not to my taste”

“The rum chosen for the starter box isn't one that I would choose to drink. It doesn't stand up to being drunk neat, which is how I drink rum. All the other items in the box were fine; it was just the rum that didn't impress me. It was all the more disappointing, as I had expected something special for what I assume is the launch of a regular rum offering.”

“I think it’s gone down hill to be honest - ‘Craft’ only really applies slightly to the spirit now I understand this is because there are 50,000 people now getting boxes But more and more the extras just aren’t worth it The syrup is always far too sweet and other bits are big brand - Thatchers cider , come on , hardly on the craft spectrum”

“When I eventually received my parcel, after over 3 weeks and having to reorder, the content was very nice although a bit of a let down after such a long wait”

“Delivery was efficient. Felt that the case did not have much in the way of instructions to make the cocktails and use the bitters. The Tia Maria matcha did not travel well and seemed curdled, did not use it. Other than that we enjoyed the box.”

“Well, I have had 3 boxes so far. 2 Gins were lovely & 1 very bland. Interesting mixers & snacks. Be aware this company email stuff constantly, several a day. I wish they would stick to just a couple of emails a week, but no, you get bombarded.”

“The box came battered with some of the contents missing. The gin was there so not too bad. I do not blame you fir the state of its arrival or missing contents. It’s just one of those things I guess. Not a lover of dry gin but this o W was a pleasant surprise. Fingers crossed my next one will be intact lol”

“This was our first box, the gin was a not really different enough to make it extra special. The snacks were very different and we particularly enjoyed the Plantain chips. We are looking forward to making our cocktail this weekend. I enjoyed reading the magazine and the ideas for future cocktails etc. Looking forward to our next box.”

Hi Eileen, thank you for your review and your feedback. We put a lot of time into choosing just the right gin and I'm so sorry if it wasn't quite right for you! Hopefully your next box is just right for you.

“I was really pleased with the May box but I think £40 for additional boxes is a bit too pricey for me to be honest!”

Helpful Report

Thank you for your review and your feedback! Our monthly boxes always have a value of at least £60 so we think £40 is a good saving, but do understand it's not always possible to spend that much on gin every month!

“Didn't like the snail flavoured crisps nor the strong cheese popcorn.”
