At the heart of our August box is a stunning Singapore Dry Gin that is like nothing else we have ever tried before. The winner of multiple awards including Gold at the World Gin Awards 2021 in the Best Contemporary Style category and Gold at the SIP Awards 2019, it is a truly special expression of Singapore.
Of course, you can’t say the word “Singapore” without the city’s rich culinary tapestry coming to mind to make you salivate. The snacks and mixers in our August box really capture that mix of sweet and spicy, citrusy and savoury notes that characterise Singaporean dishes - prepare to drool!

Our August 2021 Gin of the Month:
Brass Lion Singapore Dry Gin
A thirst-quenching, tongue-tingling, mouth-watering expression of Singapore in gin, Brass Lion Singapore Dry Gin is being launched in the UK exclusively through Craft Gin Club. It’s a remarkable craft gin created by Brass Lion Distillery and inspired by Singapore’s beautifully complex, multi-cultural cuisine.
This is a tropical gin, with notes of pomelo, lemongrass and mandarin that are joined by touches of torch ginger flower and tamarind. Its citrus, floral and spice flavours continue through to the finish, where they are joined by the earthy yet sweet tones of chrysanthemum. What a delight!
Members who received August’s box can buy even more Brass Lion Singapore Dry Gin on the Craft Gin Club online shop!
Twisted Tonic Water Thai Lime & Lemongrass
A premium tonic water with the sweetness of lemonade, this marvellous mixer from Twisted Soft Drinks is bringing the humble tonic water into the 21st Century. Perfect for those gin-lovers who are looking to avoid the bitterness of traditional tonic waters but don’t want to lose the flavours of their favourite craft gin in those of a flavoured mixer, Twisted’s premium tonic waters are expertly balanced to elevate your gin and give you a truly delicious drinking experience. You can find Twisted’s whole range on their online shop here!
