The original recipe was created with a dedicated attention to detail by Michael Kain (no, not that one, different spelling). Michael was inspired by his Great Grandfather, Edward, an innovator, inventor, intrepid traveller and Gentleman in the truest sense of that word. Michael knows that a perfect gin is made with a careful balance of botanicals to give a complex and intriguing herbal palate and a fresh, fruitful nose.  Six O’clock Gin is a premium gin producing a smooth, subtle, juniper flavour with a delicate balance of botanicals including coriander, orange peel and elderflower.  Click here to find out more about our botanicals. Most importantly, have you ever had a gin that you really liked spoiled by a second rate tonic?  Conversely have you ever wasted your favourite tonic on a low grade gin?  Six O’clock Tonic has the exceptional clean taste of natural quinine (no synthetic flavours or sweeteners here) with an unusual and singular citrus twist.  So here we have the perfect balance – a gin and tonic that delightfully complement and enhance each other. Six O’clock Gin is like no other.  Its inspiration, flavour and balance are uniquely matched with Six O’clock Tonic Edward’s amazing diaries of life aboard a steamship in 1889 are now being published daily on our facebook page
