A taste of the spice islands

Our Gin

Our Gin.

Zanzibar, a small island archipelago off the coast of East Africa, is famously known as "the spice islands". It was once a key component of the global spice trade. With its beautiful beaches and crystal clear seas, it is the inspiration behind our exotically flavoured gin. Our cloves, cardamom, black pepper, star anise and cinnamon are farmed by our local partners on the islands. Enjoy with a slice of grapefruit or pineapple.
Serve with tonic over ice.

About us.

We select exotic organic spices and botanicals grown on the islands of Zanzibar to create two delicious spirits which we produce in the UK. We work closely with our spice suppliers in Zanzibar to ensure the local farmers get great prices, and we reinvest in local industries on the islands.

Every few months, we change the view inside your bottle 🍸

Our gin bottles carry sea views. Our rum bottles? Glorious Zanzibari sunsets. Because every sip should remind you of where the taste of the spice islands comes from! 🔥

We were honoured to sponsor the Zanzibar Gourmet dinner at @zanzibluewavesresort and play a small part in the event over the weekend. It was a great excuse for us to bring out our fold out bar which fits in the back of Olis old land rover!

We served Zanzibar Spiced Mojitos for welcome drinks, and after 5 delicious courses from the best chefs in Zanzibar, we finished proceedings with a "Zanzibar Irish" - Zanzibar Spiced Rum & coffee! 🔥

Would you like us to bring the land rover bar to your place in Zanzibar? Slide into the DMs 👋🏽

We had a lot of fun with the fantastic team @kupagavillas a couple of weeks ago - trying a few different drinks made with our Zanzibar Spiced Rum & Gin 🥃

It's one of our favourite spots to chill out with a fantastic sea view in Jambiani - with a great food & cocktail selection 🙌🏽

Ask for the Zanzibar Spiced G&T, or try our Rum muddled with lime, mint and Stoney Tangawizi🔥

What an amazing afternoon spent with our friends at @1001organic 🌿

Thanks so much to Rahel for taking the time to show us around their Zanzibar warehouse. This is where all of the spices that are grown across Unguja, Pemba and mainland Tanzania are brought together for quality inspection, sorting and packaging - almost all of it by hand by their fantastic team 🙌🏽

I wish I could share the incredible spice aromas from the different sorting rooms, and especially the unbelievable heat in the greenhouse for drying Chillies! 🌶️ Talking of which, should we do a special spicy edition? (We think so)

We source our Zanzibar botanicals and spices through 1001 Organic because they produce the highest quality ingredients, promote organic and sustainable farming practises, and provide a fair price to the farmers for their products. 🙏🏽

Our motto is "a taste of the spice islands" for a reason! We want to show off the incredible flavours that come from the plants grown right here on the islands of Zanzibar, and that is the inspiration behind our Gin and our Rum! 🏝️

If you are coming to Zanzibar, they do offer spice tours, so you can see the whole process from plant to product yourself! Make sure to check out their website ✈️

Great to bring a bit of spice and warmth from Zanzibar to a quite chilly @broadwaycotswolds last week! ☀️❄️🎅🏽

We had our ever popular mulled Gin & Rum, made with the same Zanzibar spices as our spirits - exactly what everyone needed in 5C weather! 🥃

If the weather allows, we'll hopefully be there again for the Christmas shopping tomorrow evening (6th December) - hope to see you there

We've now only got 2 of the Jerry Cans remaining - could be an ideal Christmas gift for that person who has everything! 🎁

If you're in Stone Town, don't forget to visit @theneelacollection boutique hotel - who have our Spiced Rum & Gin on their bar 🥃 What a hidden gem, the perfect place to step away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Winter Warmers with Zanzibar Spiced Rum 🥃

It's getting warmer now over in Zanzibar (6° South of the Equator), just as Winter starts to arrive in the Northern Hemisphere! ❄️

What better way to bring a little spice to your evening than sitting down with a glass of our award winning spiced rum 🔥

It's delicious and smooth on its own, but if you do want to jazz it up - add a stick of Cinnamon, and a thin slice of lime. These compliment the rum perfectly.

Over in Zanzibar? Add a couple of cubes of ice to cool you down! ☀️

All the spices we use are grown on the islands of Zanzibar

What a great evening in Liverpool at the @ginfestival over the weekend! Really cool location, real buzz around the stand, and we met so many great people trying our Rum & Gin 🍹🥃

We like to try and bring a little taste of Zanzibar wherever we go, from the spices we use in our Gin & Rum to the actual stand itself - we've got a photo of an amazing sea view in Bwejuu on the East coast as our current backdrop. 🏝️

People often ask us if the sea really is that blue in Zanzibar, and if you've been, you know it's true! When the weather in Europe is getting a bit darker and colder, its nice to picture yourself somewhere else sometimes! 🙌🏽☀️

You might notice our new all natural bottle corks, which now have a map of Zanzibar etched into the wood! These are on batch 2 of the gin, and will be on the next batch of the rum.

We have also almost sold out of our popular Safari hats! (There are still 2 left, so get in quickly!) - we will hopefully have some more by the end of November 🤞🏽

What a surprise to find we've been featured in the "what we're drinking" section of @foodandtravelhq for their August issue!

Our first paper publication feature - available from all good news outlets in the UK! 🙌🏽

We like to think we fit in pretty well with our exotic flavours and Zanzibar being one of the top holiday destinations 🇹🇿☀️

We've actually only got 4 bottles of our first batch of the gin available on Amazon - so act fast if you want to get hold of one! Batch 2 is in the works! Meanwhile we're super pleased with the great feedback we're getting on batch 3 of the rum ♥️

Officially available in the UK and Zanzibar for our trade customers - interested in adding a bit of spice to your menu? Please get in touch via DM! 🌶️🥂

The dust has finally settled on another fantastic weekend at @adventure_bike_rider festival! 🙌🏽🔥

What an amazing weekend, ABR was actually our first ever event last year, and it was so great to be able to come back serving our Mojitos and Spiced Rum again! 🍹

Really cool to see so many familiar faces from last year, and meet so many great people as well. We''re glad so many of you appreciated a proper spiced mojito! 🙌🏽

Thanks to the team at ABR for organising another great event, and thanks once again to the team @moongazing.hare.bars for making all the magic happen in the background (and making sure we could never ran out of ginger beer!!!)

📸 Thanks also to @aaron.35mm and @labrat_photos for the awesome behind the scenes photos 🔥

Quote of the event: "I love mojitos, I've been to the Carribbean, and this is the bloody best one I've ever had" - we'll take that 🤝🏽

Such an honour to be working together with our friends @chakozanzibar 🇹🇿🏝️

Chako do some incredible work in Zanzibar - finding innovative ways to give Glass, Plastic and paper waste created by the tourism industry a new purpose - while providing important training and skilled jobs to local people!!

The tourism industry creates a lot of opportunities for Zanzibar and its people. At the same time it also creates waste. Waste is difficult to process on the island. Things like brochures, bottles or glass can easily be given a new life.

We can't wait to see what the Chako team create with our bottles 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

What a fantastic first week in Zanzibar!!! 😍🇹🇿

Thank you to everyone who has been so excited about our delicious gin and rum - We've met some amazing people and new friends! 🍹

If you're interested in meeting us, having a taster or just a chat - we're in Zanzibar until Friday - but we are officially now in stock on the islands! 🙌🏽 Feel free to reach us on a DM for more information.

We are really looking forward to sharing our "Taste of the Spice Islands" with our home in Zanzibar! 🏝️

Had a bit of a nightmare yesterday with our "trusty" Range Rover! The Zanzi-Car finally let us down on the way to the Welsh Classic Motorcycle festival in Anglesey 😭

After some hours troubleshooting we realised we couldn't make it there with our trailer. We did have a cool box full of ice and fruit however, so managed to get home, ditch the trailer, and limp over to our friends @thepistonclub_atthestag for some impromptu cocktails in their garden for a couple of hours! 🍹

Sorry to the kickback show and Welsh Classic team, we'll have our car shipshape for the next event! 🙏🏽
