ESSEX CITRUS DRY GIN
Essex Citrus Dry Gin is a take on the classic ‘London Dry’ Gin style, it is different in name but only slightly different in style due to our ‘high tech’ production methods.
- Citrus notes from lime & grapefruit
- Made using natural Essex Spring water
- Finished off with a pinch of local sea salt

LOCALLY SPICED RUM
'Locally Spiced Rum' is our take on the ever popular category of spiced rums - using of course our local, quality & sustainable twist on things.
- A base blend of over proof Caribbean rum
- Only natural ingredients, no artificial flavours
- Sweetened with locally produced Honey

ESSEX SPRING VODKA
We use the same base neutral spirit we use for our gins, which is of the highest quality, then proof this down to 40% ABV with naturally filtered & perfectly preserved Essex spring water from our friends at Elsenham spring water.
- Made with British wheat
- Made with local spring water
- Full mouth feel with a light flavour
