James May Gin Collection: Premium Artisan Gin with Character

Best known as a television presenter, journalist, and motoring enthusiast, James May has also become a respected name in the world of premium spirits. His growing collection of artisan gins combines creativity, quality ingredients, and a refreshing sense of personality that stands out in the increasingly competitive gin market.

Produced under the 'James Gin' brand, James May’s gin range offers something genuinely different for gin lovers looking to explore bold flavours and expertly balanced botanicals. From the citrus-forward London Drizzle to the unusual Asian Parsnip, the laid-back California Dreamgin, and the eccentric American Mustard each bottle reflects May’s passion for craftsmanship and originality.

The Story Behind James May Gin

James May entered the drinks industry with the same attention to detail and curiosity that made him famous on television. Rather than creating a celebrity-endorsed product in name only, May became heavily involved in the development of the recipes and flavour profiles.

The result is a premium gin collection designed for people who appreciate quality spirits with depth, balance, and individuality. Distilled in the UK using carefully selected botanicals, James Gin has quickly gained popularity among gin enthusiasts across Britain and beyond.

Each gin is crafted to deliver a distinctive drinking experience while remaining versatile enough for classic gin serves and cocktails.

Asian Parsnip: A Truly Unique Gin

Perhaps the most talked-about bottle in the James Gin collection is Asian Parsnip. This unusual and inventive gin combines earthy parsnip notes with aromatic Asian-inspired botanicals to create a flavour profile unlike anything else on the market.

Despite the unconventional concept, Asian Parsnip remains smooth, balanced, and surprisingly refreshing. The savoury depth works beautifully in a classic gin and tonic while also making it an excellent choice for adventurous cocktails.

Its originality has helped establish James May Gin as a brand willing to take risks while still delivering premium quality.

London Drizzle: Bright, Citrus-Led Freshness

London Drizzle offers a more traditional yet equally refined gin experience. Packed with vibrant citrus flavours and classic juniper character, this gin is crisp, refreshing, and incredibly easy to enjoy.

Perfect for summer serves, London Drizzle pairs beautifully with premium tonic water and fresh citrus garnish. Its clean finish and balanced botanicals make it an excellent option for both seasoned gin drinkers and newcomers to craft spirits.

California Dreamgin: Relaxed and Smooth

Inspired by the laid-back atmosphere of the American West Coast, California Dreamgin delivers softer botanical notes with subtle floral and herbal complexity.

This versatile gin works exceptionally well in light cocktails and long drinks, offering a smooth and approachable style that reflects the creativity behind the James Gin range.

American Mustard: Warm, Smooth & Savoury

American Mustard distils the essential flavours of the United States - hot-dog mustard and dill pickles to create something really spectacular.

It’s the perfect accompaniment to every traditional American fast food recipe, but we don't recommend using it as a garnish. That would be absurd.
