Craft Gin Club’s November 2020 Gin of the Month Box
Our November 2020 Gin of the Month:
Pienaar & Son Orient Gin
Pienaar & Son Orient Gin has been designed to capture the essence of Cape Town’s colourful Bo-Kaap area. It’s a rich, vibrant and complex craft gin that’s like nothing else we have tried before!
The flavour profile of this gin is refreshing and packed full of delectable spice and citrus aromas. Mandarin orange and wonderful vanilla notes complement the fiery tones of allspice, cassia bark and ginger in this truly inspired tipple that’s as bold as it is utterly delicious.
Fitch & Leedes
Indian Tonic and Bitter Lemon
Introducing Fitch & Leedes, purveyors of fabulous mixers inspired by Ralph Fitch and William Leedes - two courageous merchant gentlemen who set sail in 1583 to seek out exotic flavours in the Far East. Each one of their fabulous beverages embraces that adventurous, pioneering spirit and pursuit of excellence.
Our members can find two editions from Fitch & Leedes in their November box, their delectable Indian Tonic and their mouth-watering Bitter Lemon. Their Indian Tonic is a beautiful mix of aromatic tones and quintessential quinine notes that complement gin perfectly, while their Bitter Lemon has fragrant, zesty flavours of pure lemon juice. Both of these marvellous mixers make for a stunning partner to Pienaar & Son Orient Gin - and any other craft gin, for that matter!

Two Keys
Lemon Mixer
Two Keys are blazing the trail for exciting new mixers that unlock new ways of enjoying your favourite spirits. They make incredible alternatives to your classic tonic or soda waters, making them the perfect choice for those who aren’t as keen on those bitter quinine or carbonated flavours, or those people simply looking for something completely new. Made with ingredients from artisan producers from across the world, each of their tantalising tipples is 100% natural and low in calories.
Their Lemon Mixer is a beautifully-balanced tipple that combines deliciously sharp, real lemon juice from Spanish lemons with natural cane sugar from Brazil. It’s divine, especially when coupled with an extraordinary craft gin like Pienaar & Son Orient Gin!
What’s more, Two Keys are doing their bit to help conserve Africa’s wildlife. They donate 5% of all sales to Tusk, a non-profit British organisation devoted to the conservation of wildlife and endangered animals in Africa.
Tyrrells Popcorn
Sweet & Salty
Tyrrells! We always get so excited when we hear that name around Craft Gin Club HQ, it means that we and our members are in for some amazing, tasty treats. Of course, we all know they have a whole range of stunningly flavoured crisps made from first-rate potatoes but did you know that they do popcorn too?
That’s right, they do, and it’s seriously good! Their perfectly popped popcorn has a balance of sweet and salty flavours that come from a delightfully rich seasoning of salted caramel. They are such a great snack to enjoy with a G&T. We can’t get enough!
Amarula
Cream Liqueur
Amarula is a cream liqueur that has us licking our lips with glee, we can’t wait for our members to give it a try!
Made using marula fruit, which is grown free and wild and is uniquely found in subequatorial Africa, this incredible liqueur has a wonderful flavour profile that’s full of fragrant, plump peach and plum notes. They make this beautiful, complex, creamy tipple much lighter than the whisky-based alternatives that are out there. It’s fantastic simply sipped with ice but is also gorgeous when mixed with a quality craft gin.

Savoursmiths
Somerset Cheddar and Shallot Potato Crisps
Savoursmiths know how to create snacks with style. Their flavours are incredible, just ask anyone who received a packet of their Italian Cheese and Port Potato Crisps in our May 2019 Gin of the Month Box.
Their Somerset Cheddar and Shallot Potato Crisps are just as delicious! Made with quality, home-grown, British potatoes from Cambridgeshire and seasoned with an incredible mix of shallot and Somerset cheddar, each crisp is full of lip-smacking flavour. And that’s not all, like Two Keys, Savoursmiths are helping to fight the good fight by contributing a portion of the profits from their Somerset Cheddar and Shallot Potato Crisps to Tusk. Tasty and animal conscious, you need to stock up on these snacks for your at-home gin bar!
MangaJo
Red Grape & Rooibos Tea
MangaJo is the drinks brand that are bringing together the finest ingredients from wonderful producers from across the globe.
