NORFOLK GIN … ‘THE FINALE’ ..
I’m not sure how I’m going to write this post without crying , but here goes ….
I’ve known for a while but last week our lovely friends Alison & Johnathan announced their much deserved retirement of Norfolk Gin ….. 💔
They have been crafting the best gin in the world , since 2014 and Paul and I were very early adopters , before knowing them as a couple , and have some very early batch numbered bottles ( now candlesticks) in our collection including a personalised ‘Paul’s Favourite Gin’ bottle .
What started small grew to 2 purpose built sheds in their garden and he iconic stone bottles we all know and love .
We were lucky enough to be invited to their summer party just after I started my box delivery service in 2024 for their 10th Anniversary and we have a limited edition ‘blue’ bottle from a run they did a few years ago, so yes, we really are massive fans and we will miss their gin when we’ve had our last sips.
We have a few bottles left in the shop , and a few refills with hopefully a few more refills coming soon , but then that will be the end …..
Oh Alison & Johnathan, you gorgeous people , we wish you the happiest retirement , and Bon voyage on your travels. Your gin will be missed by us but we will stay in touch and check in with your adventures !
All that’s left to say is …..
CHIN CHIN TO NORFOLK GIN X
Victoria’s a little bit sad …
