“Very disappointed with December's gin, Tarquin’s Cornish Christmas Gin. It has way to much juniper and nothing else. Unpleasant.”

Hi Dave, I'm sorry to hear that you weren't keen on the Tarquin's, we've had such amazing feedback otherwise. I hope you like the next one! -Trine

“Can’t comment on the gin as I’m allergic to cinnamon contained in the gin so I’ve lost £40 so I’ve cancelled my account.”

“First box received on time in September with a nice gin. Despite being told my December box had been posted at the end of November when I check the tracking number with the post office it states it has still not been received by them on the 10th December some two weeks later. Sent an email asking what was going on but only got a standard reply blaming the delay due to the Christmas post and saying they try to respond to emails within four working days. Would like to know if my bottle has been sent yet and if not when it will be.”

“I was very excited to receive my first gin box, how disappointed I was. The Norwegian gin included in the June box 😞 tastes and smells awful. The snacks were nothing special and mixers could have been a lot better. Definitely not worth £40 or the £55 they claim it’s worth. I have cancelled my membership as I don’t want to waste any more money. I have tried lots of different gins and this has to be the worst on my list. There’s lots netter than this in the local supermarket and cheaper”

Hi Linda, I'm really sorry to hear you weren't enjoying this months gin, especially as it was your first! Thank you so much for leaving your feedback, this will of course be taken into consideration when picking the gins going forward. -Trine

“Our first time with the club and so excited to get our gin box for June. Oh dear, I know tastes are personal but my gosh, how dreadful was it. My husband said it tasted of eating dirt, and I thought there was too much pine. So disappointed that we have cancelled our subscription which is a shame as we wanted to use it to until Christmas at least, so we had presents that we could open together and taste. :(”

“This is the second time my husband has bought me a subscription as a present so I was excited to receive the first new box. I was interested to try the Norwegian gin but sadly, I can honestly say this is the most unpleasant gin I've ever had. The smell is offputting to start with and then lingers even with a flavoured tonic. The taste seems to match the smell and has something almost chemical about it. Very disappointed as this will probably get wasted.”

“First box was great with yummy Salcombe gin. The April Manchester gin box arrived with damaged/broken snacks although the company did replace - two weeks later after having sent them a reminder email. Didn't enjoy the gin nearly as much as the one before. Cancelled our subscription because we were being bombarded with emails (on two different accounts) virtually every other day trying to get us to upgrade our membership. Shame as we were so pleased with the first box and loved the concept.”

Hi Elliott, I’m so sorry that your gin box did not arrive with you as expected this month. Unfortunately the extreme snowy weather conditions this month really turned things upside down at the Royal Mail and there were a few mishaps – however your box absolutely should not have been marked as delivered when it hadn’t been, and we understand that this is very frustrating. As our customer service team is very small we don't currently have a telephone line, as we would hate for our members to be left on hold for too long. As the team grows in size, a phone line is something we hope to introduce. Our normal working hours are 9-6 Mon - Fri, but we do our best to ensure any urgent emails are answered as quickly as possible. I can see that we were able to get back to your Saturday email correspondence on Monday morning, and that you happily received your replacement box on the Tuesday. We're very happy to hear that this issue was resolved quickly, and we welcome any feedback you may have – please let us know at members@craftginclub.co.uk -Eloise
