I normally order the sea glass gin for me darlin, which is her favourite. Took a risk and ordered this as a birthday surprise. She loved it. Next up is the scuttled gin.

Vara gin is ridiculously lovely. It’s got a heavenly floral hit which takes you back to a summer evening in a rose garden. Somehow it entirely avoids the ‘toothpasty’ taste of so many flavoured gins. I have it on subscription these days 😉

This gin is absolutely divine. I am not usually a ‘pink’ gin fan, but the flavour profile of Vara is just delicious. Refreshing and interesting, it’s received so many compliments when friends have come round for a drink. We will be ordering it again for sure!

Tried at the distillery loved it, bought a bottle. Joined the subscription scheme with a bottle, now changed to two bottles! Gave it to friends to try they loved it! Such a different but definitely gin flavour, not like any other plain or flavoured gin, a definite hit!
