If you are looking for the perfect gin wedding gift or gin wedding favour, the amazing team at Manchester Gin distillery has distilled just the thing: a fabulous wedding-themed gin called Manchester Gin Tied the Knot!
Manchester Gin has created a gin inspired by weddings and specifically for weddings with this utterly delicious Tied the Knot edition.
Not only does it make for a great wedding gift for gin fans, but it’s also ideal for serving at your wedding too. Honestly, we don’t think any wedding gin bar could possibly be complete without this mouthwatering edition, especially since there’s a romantic story behind its creation.
For those who don’t know, the Manchester Gin distillery was founded by the soon-to-be-husband-and-wife-team Seb Heeley and Jen Wiggins. They first met when their paths crossed on a night out with their friends, their eyes met across the bar and Seb made his move.
“He swooped in and asked what I was drinking. The first thing I ever said to him was ‘gin and tonic’.”

Together they have chased their love of gin, first experimenting with a small still in their living room and then developing what is the now-world famous Manchester Gin distillery.
Their love flourished and so did their gin, however, the couple held off on getting hitched so they could focus on growing their distillery into the incredible brand it is today.
After years of hard work, they were finally ready to tie the knot. There was just one problem. Their wedding day, like so many others, had to be postponed because of COVID-19!
Undeterred. Seb and Jen have now set aside a date in July and have created their Tied the Knot gin to celebrate Love’s triumph! The label reads: “So for our big day - and yours - let's raise a glass, dance all night, and say I do!”
Cheers to that!
