Celebrate Pride Month with Wessex RESPECT Gin and the perfect Pride cocktail!
May 31, 2023
To celebrate Pride Month and support the LGBTQIA+ community, Craft Gin Club has partnered with the amazing, award-winning distillery Wessex Gin to launch an exclusive, limited-edition spirit called “RESPECT Gin”. It comes in a stunning rainbow bottle and is bursting with incredible London dry flavours.
The best part? For every bottle sold of this extra-special gin, a donation will be made to the Across Rainbows charity, an inspirational UK organisation supporting the LGBTQIA+ community.
There are only a very limited number of bottles of Wessex RESPECT Gin available, so don’t miss your chance to get your hands on this rare gin (the gorgeous bottle alone is worth a look!).
For those who don’t know, Wessex Gin is a multi-award-winning distillery from the heart of the Surrey Hills. Their Wessex Alfred The Great Gin was Craft Gin Club’s September 2019 Gin of the Month, and the distillery was named UK Gin Producer of the Year 2022 by the IWSC (International Wine & Spirits Competition).
Their brand-new RESPECT Gin is a fabulous example of their team’s skill. They have expertly blended classic botanicals, including juniper, coriander, angelica, orange, and lemon, to create a smooth, well-balanced London dry gin elevated by a refreshing citrus finish.
It’s sure to impress any gin connoisseur, and with the unique and vibrant rainbow design of the bottle, it’s a wonderful ode to the diversity, joy and resilience of the LGBTQIA+ community.
The inspiration behind RESPECT Gin and its stunning rainbow bottle came from our desire to celebrate and support the LGBTQIA+ community during Pride Month and beyond. We wanted to create a gin that tastes exceptional and sends a message of love, pride, and unity!
— Christopher Clark, craft distiller at Wessex Gin
