6 O'clock Gin

6 O’clock Gin is a range of strikingly smooth artisan gins, handcrafted in small batches, using traditional skills and only the best natural ingredients.

In the late 1980s, the Kain family owned a fruit farm. Putting surplus fruit to good use, they started making delicious liqueurs and sold them with some considerable success. The first incarnation of the family’s gin recipe was created as a base for their delightfully piquant Sloe Gin.

Having moved the business to Bristol, and guided by the family expertise in liqueurs, we set about perfecting the gin recipe. The wonderful flavour of 6 O’clock Gin emerged through experimentation: carefully selected botanicals, precisely balanced for a refreshingly clean taste.

The name was inspired by our long-held family tradition of indulging in a G&T at 6 o’clock; a very British custom still enjoyed at the distillery and shared by gin-lovers all over the world.
