London Craft Gin Cruise Preview: Interview with Wessex Distillery

This summer I’ll be hosting the London Craft Gin Cruise, plying our guests with the finest craft gins and having a right old good time. We’re lucky to be joined on our June cruise by the talented folk behind Wessex Gin who have one of the finest selections we’ve tried. And we’ve tried a few. Rebecca Monks, their events manager, was kind enough to answer our questions!

What do you feel sets you apart from other gins out there?

"Wessex is a family run distillery. Our Gooseberry and Elderflower Gin, along with our Rhubarb and Ginger Gin, are made up of one-third fresh pressed fruit juice. This sets us apart as most distilleries use artificial flavouring in their gins. Therefore, our Gins are much more fresh and tasty. 
We have also recently won the IWSC UK Gin Producer of the Year! 
Since opening in 2017, our Wessex Gins have won multiple international Gold awards. Our Wyvern Classic Gin has won four gold international awards."

Which gins will you be bringing along to the cruise?

"We will be bringing along the whole range. We have eight gins to offer. We are also launching a few limited edition runs throughout the year, so if we have any left, we can bring some along!"

Why are you looking forward to joining us on the cruise

"We don't normally attend events on water. This is very different for us so we are seriously excited! 
The family used to own a distillery in London so it will be nice to be back. London looms large in the history of Gin is, which we can explain to your guests on the day."
