We wanted to make gin - actually physically make it. By hand with all the worry, excitement and creativity that comes with the process.
Our gin is a celebration of the Essex coast, it's people and the historic nautical and naval past. We're lucky enough to have found our home just a short walk from the beautiful Walton Backwaters. Tide's Fortune is our tribute to this beautiful place, made using foraged and locally sourced coastal botanicals.
We set out to make an authentic gin with no flavourings, colourings or sweeteners added after distillation. A one shot gin for gin lovers. The smiles on the faces of our visitors the first time they taste our Essex Dry Gin are what energise us and fuel our passion.
We hope you'll love drinking it as much as we love making it. Read more
We wanted to challenge the stereotypes and celebrate the real Essex in all its beauty.
