Virtual Tasting Programme 22nd April 2023
Meet-the-Makers Virtually on Saturday 22nd April 6pm - 8.30pm

The Gin To My Tonic are back this Saturday 22nd April 2023 6.00pm – 8.30pm as we take you on a whole new journey of gin discovery with Henley Distillery, Dog & Spoon Distillery, Dinnewell’s Distillery, Abingdon Distillery and Green Room Distillery.
Over the course of the evening, you’ll experience first-hand the craft and graft that goes into each of these tasty creations, along with how their unique influences have helped shaped each of the creations. What we hope, is that you’ll find a new favourite, be surprised by something that perhaps you wouldn’t usually like, and that you fall in love with the people behind the brands.
Please don’t worry, you won’t be on camera personally and all interaction with us as hosts and our distillers will be via the interactive chat box due to the volume of people partaking, so there’s no need to feel nervous. Instead, just sit back, relax and get ready to sample some fabulous gins…
Love and Best Wishes,
The Gin To My Tonic Team

The Contemporary Twist on a London Dry Gin, Henley Distillery

Jacob is the owner and award-winning Master Distiller at Henley Distillery. Born and raised in Henley-on-Thames, and one of the youngest Master Distillers in the country, his dream had been to open a distillery in his home town.
Since running pop-up bars at university, his thirst for knowledge has not yet been quenched and he has worked his way up the distilling ladder, learning his trade at highly respected operations around the country. Having worked with craft distilleries all over the UK, Jacob gained an extensive knowledge of traditional gin making techniques. Combined with a fresh and innovative approach, he is now creating his own spirits that are both classic and contemporary.
After years of planning, The Henley Distillery opened in June 2021, they now boast a collection of 3 gins and have won multiple, global awards including Gold at the Gin Masters and Gold at the London Spirits Business.
They have entered our first People’s Choice Awards, we wish them best of luck with their entries!
A Carbon Neutral Marvel from Derbyshire, Dog and Spoon Distillery

A distillery born out of a passion for sustainability and a mutual love of Gin, Dog and Spoon Distillery is based in a repurposed old grain store in Derbyshire. From the beginning Seb and Tony’s vision was to create fantastic products while minimising their carbon footprint and being as eco-aware as possible.
On the palette, the 6a London Dry you can expect delightful juniper and citrus formed from their selected botanicals, ending with a smooth finish and just a little warmth.
Amongst other botanicals, Seb and Tony have infused various Citrus elements into the spirit, such as Verbena, Cassia and Cardamom into a unique recipe that we think is equally perfect sipped neat or in a classic G&T with a slice of orange or lemon.
with sustainability and carbon neutralisation at the heart of their project, they are already utilising Solar, Battery and Biomass power, have built a cold closed-water system and developed custom packaging from recyclable materials with zero plastic. But they aren’t stopping there, with many more advancements planned, sustainability is incredibly important to us, as is quality that’s why their products are distilled, bottled, labelled and packaged by themselves onsite.

The Heart of Yorkshire, Dinnewell's Gin


A bold and beautiful gin love story. Dinnewell’s gin was founded by husband-and-wife team Chris and Sarah Dinnewell during the lockdowns of 2020/21. Having spent over 20 years between them working in various roles within the hospitality industry, this stop start year provided them the perfect opportunity to realise a long-standing dream of producing an outstanding spirit, that not only tastes great but also reflects their journey and personalities.
Handcrafted with 12 botanicals. This modern, classic gin marries the beauty of juniper and bold citrus flavours to create a smooth warming texture. Enjoy this elegant gin served over ice, with pink grapefruit and a sprig of rosemary. Paired with citrus forward tonic. Prominent flavours in the dry gin are: Juniper, Grapefruit, Orange, Vanilla and a subtle hint of spice.
As well as in a gin and tonic our dry gin works beautifully in either a Negroni or a Martini.
From A Dream To Reality, Abingdon Distillery

Jordan decided on the dream of having a distillery when in Hong Kong some years ago whilst working abroad. The lack of quality & limited selection of gins out there fuelled a bit of an experimental phase where we began dabbling in distilling to produce a worthy gin we could sip & enjoy.
All of the spirits that they make are produced by our 2 beautiful copper stills, Jenny & Angela. They were both handmade in Portugal and have a distilling capacity of 100L between them (That’s about 130 bottles per run). The stills are key to the distillation process and they play a huge part in producing smooth spirits with fantastic flavours. Being 100% copper, they remove the impurities & sulphur-containing compounds from the spirit vapours during distillation. Simply put, without their two girls they wouldn’t be able to produce our award-winning gins.
All their gins are distilled using the ‘one shot’ method. Only purified water is added post distillation and we don’t use concentrates, artificial colours or flavourings.

Distilled Behind The Scenes in London, Green Room Distillery


Started by two friends from the world of theatre, Green Room’s delicious multi-award winning Small Batch Dry Gin, Triple Filtered Vodka and Sloe Gin are all distilled, hand-filled, labelled and finished with a wax seal, ‘behind the scenes’ in London.
Within only a few months of operating, we won a Bronze Medal at the International Spirits Challenge 2021, and in 2022, we have won a Silver at the World Gin Awards, ISC 2022 and London Spirits Competition. and on top of all that, Winner of the Gin Guide Awards, and we couldn’t be prouder!
14 delicious botanicals, many of which are citrus notes such as Dried Orange, fresh Lime and Pink Grapefruit, plus Grains of Paradise. For balance, the Cloves and Cinnamon, offer a refreshing and uplifting taste. Lovely in a G&T as you will discover in the Virtual Tasting in April.
