  • Now that my snappily named 'Gin of The People - Advertising by The People Competition' has closed, I've started looking through the entries. Some are genuinely odd but many are surprisingly good. I'm now going to pour myself a large gin and pick the winners, to be announced on the 7th August. Good luck and thanks to all for all your work.

      It sounds good but it's completely nonsensical. Maybe that was the point?

    Meet James. He likes gin and hates pretentious nonsense, yet has a refined taste for quality, originality, and good craftsmanship. Which is lucky because James makes gin. It's good gin. The gin reflects James. It's a gin so bloody good that it could come with a 5 year warranty and a platinum membership for a very proud owners club.
