The Gin Guide
The Gin Guide was launched in 2014 by spirits writer Paul Jackson as a global, independent resource for trade and consumers, and as a Membership organisation for gin producers. The Gin Guide mission is to enable consumers to discover new gins, distilleries and ways to enjoy gin, whilst providing a platform and channels for gin producers to reach new audiences, tell their stories, sell more bottles and drive more tour bookings.
The Gin Guide has established one of the world's largest gin communities online with over 98,000 followers and hundreds of thousands of website visitors each year, as well as developing an internationally recognised and respected seal of approval. Through this we work to support the authentic, transparent and sustainable development of the gin industry, and to celebrate the exceptional products, distilleries and people within it.
