At time of writing, we’re experiencing the unprecedented global challenge of an almost-total lockdown on usual daily activity. As with most sectors, the gin industry has been hit hard.

Many of the small, independent distilleries that form the core of our treasured extended family here at Craft Gin Club are having to fight hard to find ways to adapt to and survive the current working restrictions.

So we’re very excited to be able to offer you, our wonderful gin-loving community, the chance to support one of fantastic gin-producing partners during this time of crisis - Nelsons Distillery & Gin School.

This superb Staffordshire-based gin producer was responsible for the tipple (Nelson’s Gluggle Jug Gin) which our Craft Gin Club members voted as their favourite Gin of the Month from 2019 in our end-of-year Big Gin Awards!

However, as well as producing wonderful craft gin, Nelson’s Distillery also runs a top-notch gin school on site at its premises in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire. The school holds special gin-making classes throughout the year, where attendees can learn all about the process of distillation, make their very own blend of gin, and of course, sample a few little tasters of gin along the way!

Nelson’s Distillery is also home to a gin school

We’re delighted to announce that we’ve teamed up with the distillery to offer Craft Gin Club members 15% off the usual cost of its gin school sessions when you buy a voucher for the gin school before 2 May 2020.

These vouchers will be redeemable until April 2021; you don’t have to have visited before then, just made a booking by redeeming your voucher online before then. The booking itself will be valid for visits to the gin school for any date within 12 months of voucher redemption.

So, book now for use at any future date and you’ll have a fantastic, gin-filled day out to look forward to once lock-down restrictions are lifted!

What’s more, if more than 200 people book using the CRAFTGINCLUB discount code before 2 May, all purchasers will be entered into a prize draw to win a 4-day trip to Manila to visit Nelson’s first-ever Asia-based gin school!

In other words: you can help support an independent British gin distillery during the crisis AND save money on a ginny day out…all while being in with the chance of winning a holiday! What’s not to love?!
