Best gin subscriptions and clubs to try 2024

Craft Gin Club

Available from Craft Gin Club, £45 a month

Best overall gin subscription

Founded in 2015, Craft Gin Club is the UK’s largest gin subscription service. Each box contains a full-sized bottle of gin that supports craft producers, plus a whole lot more. The box follows a different theme each month – our Provence-themed box included an exclusive 70cl bottle of QVT Dry Gin Édition CGC (distilled in Provence and infused with lavender and rose petals) alongside a variety of gourmet French-inspired snacks, plus mixers, garnishes and syrups. The box also contains Craft Gin Club’s own magazine, entirely dedicated to the contents of the box. It includes plenty of cocktail ideas, bakes and interviews.

The box feels like real treat to open, with enough goodies inside to spread your tastings out over a few days – a gift that keeps on giving! There are flexible subscription options – with so much in the box, even a bi-monthly subscription would feel generous. At £45 a box, this feels extremely good value for the amount it contains, especially considering the bespoke products, and would make a great gift – perhaps even to yourself.

Craft56 Scottish Gin Club

Available from Craft56, from £40 a month

Best subscription for Scottish gin

Craft56 showcases the best artisan spirits producers across Scotland, with a vast range of Scottish gins, whiskies and more available in its online shop. The Craft56 Scottish gin club curates small-batch gins from distilleries across Scotland and delivers direct to you every month.

There are three subscription lengths on offer: monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly. The first month’s delivery includes a branded gin glass.

Each month, gin club subscribers will receive a full 70cl bottle of gin from a Scottish distillery, along with mixers, tasting notes and serving suggestions. We receive a medley of gins and mixers from brands previously included in the subscription for a taste of what to expect. The full-flavoured Glaswegin (in a uniquely designed bottle), infused with orange flower and pink peppercorns, becomes a new favourite. Quirky Scottish tonic waters highlight the flavours of the gin – a great way to mix up your standard G&T.

While this may be one of the higher-end subscriptions, the full-size bottle of top-quality gin makes this good value for money, especially with the extra mixers and expert notes.

I Love Gin Club

Available from I Love Gin (from £17.50 a month)

Best gin subscription for affordable gifting

Discover your perfect gin with ILoveGin, a subscription service focusing on bringing you gins from unique distillers. Choose from a monthly, three-month, six month or yearly gin subscription. This is pleasantly low commitment, with the freedom to pause, skip or cancel at any time.

The wallet-friendly subscription focuses on miniatures rather than full-sized bottles of gin. In our box, we received two 5cl bottles of Copperfield London Dry Gin, one with floral notes and the other juniper-rich, along with a Pink Peppercorn Tonic from Merchant’s Heart and a light low-calorie tonic from Lixir. This is enough to make four G&Ts that you won’t find in the shops, perfect for making a round of drinks to serve friends or family. A nifty recipe booklet is also provided, detailing the perfect serve, garnish, the story of the drinks and a page to record your thoughts on the gins and mixers you’ve tried.

Though it is slightly no frills compared to other brands, if encountering new and interesting gins is what you’re after, this is a fail-safe membership to enjoy.

Little Gin Box gin club

Available from Little Gin Box (from £11 a month), Virgin Experience Days (£34 for 3 months), Buyagift (£55 for 3-month premium subscription)

Best budget gin subscription

Little Gin Box is a great value non-committal gin subscription service, sourcing gins from small artisan distillers. The super affordable gin subscription, starting from just £11 a month, offers two carefully selected 50ml gins each month. Twin brand Little Rum Box offers the same service with high quality rums, if rum is more your bag, or you can do a combined 'GRUM' subscription to receive a little bit of both. For an extra £12.50, your first box will come with six gins instead of two – a bargain and a great way to start your gin journey. There’s also the opportunity to buy a premium version via Buyagift, where each box comes with three gins and three accompanying garnishes.

We really liked that this subscription includes a mixture of both classic and flavoured gins, so there’s good variety to explore. Our box included a pretty Misty Isle pink gin, infused with raspberries and blackcurrants harvested from the distillery garden on the Isle of Skye. Each gin comes with a tasting card showing the full bottle of gin, details about the brand and notes, a best serve suggestion and space to rate the gin out of five. Full size bottles are available to buy from their well-stocked gin shop.

This is brilliant value for money for a non-committal way to try out new gins and discover unique small brands, perfect if you don't want to invest lots and don't need added extras.

interGin gin club

Available from intergin (£44 a month)

Best for unusual gin discoveries

interGin prides itself on being a true gin expert, with a well-stocked online gin shop, Gin magazine and resident ‘ginsarian’ (aka gin expert) who taste tests and researches every gin covered by the gin club.

The gin club offers monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly subscriptions and can be cancelled any time. The box is generously stocked, with the highlight being a full-sized bottle of genuine craft gin. Our box contains a striking 70cl bottle of Sixling cloudberry-infused Irish gin, a unique find that has wild berry, grapefruit and elderflower botanicals. This high-quality gin is a World Gin Awards winner, and we enjoy experimenting with it and the selection of generously sized, varied mixers the box contains. The box also contains a mini sample of Edinburgh Gin's lemon and jasmine gin and a copy of Gin magazine. The one area the box slightly falls down is the snack selection – while generous in quantity, ours includes jelly beans, a chocolate croissant and Walkers gin tarts, which don’t quite match up to the quality of the gin and don’t seem to have a clear curated theme.

Overall, the real strength of the box is the gin, which almost comes to the value of the box itself. It’s a fun selection with an informative magazine and a chance to discover unusual new favourites.

The Gin To My Tonic VIP gin club

Available from The Gin To My Tonic, £35 a month

Best for virtual tastings

Created by best friends Emira Shepherd and Paul Hudson-Jones, The Gin To My Tonic began life as a humble Instagram account. It’s now a giant in the gin world, hosting meet-the-maker shows, festivals and tastings, plus an online store and monthly gin club.

The club provides you with a full sized bottle of gin, paired bottles of Fever-Tree mixers and quarterly virtual tastings with representatives from featured distilleries. The virtual tastings – which you can access at a later date, if you can’t make the live event – aee a smoothly run Zoom affair, with Em and Paul hosting a dazzling line-up of gin distillers (including the Hendrick's master distiller, Lesley Gracie), ambassadors and mixologists. For overall value for money, a full-sized bottle of a newly-released, unique gin (that you’re perhaps unlikely to discover yourself), Fever-Tree mixers and 2½ hours of live meet-the-maker screen time makes this a pretty sweet deal.
