I purchased this as a gift for someone who only drinks gin, has tried many (!) but especially enjoyed this one!

Laura

Oh my god this is delicious! I purchased it as a gimmick, I wasn't expecting it to be this good. The mix of botanicals works so well together giving it a really smooth finish. So easy to drink, my be a little too easy! And I love the bottle.

Danielle M on Yumbles.co.uk

Bought this for me and the ladies to enjoy after seeing so much in the press, really thought it would be a gimmick but the taste was SUBLIME and the bottle is the most beautiful I've seen. Now it's finished, I'm using it as a candle holder. My new favourite gin.

Gloria on Yumbles.co.uk

I bought this gin for my girlfriend and she LOVES it and so do I! Perfect gift.

Edpickles

Best gin I've ever tasted - absolutely loved it!

Allymolly

What is not to love about Collagin? Genuinely the tastiest gin out there and the bottle is just the prettiest. Literally cannot wait to try the new taste sensation the Rose Collagin!

Beth W
