Flavour is Daniel’s main priority, having trialled different combinations for months until he found the perfect, unique recipe that features over 150 botanicals, all of which boast flavour that derives deep from the roots of the Cotswolds.

Daniel explained: “The cloudy look our gin presents is a result of the oils within our botanical extracts. It is a sign of the quality of our ingredients and shows once again our dedication to flavour, which has become our trademark.” Looking for something extra special? You'll also find a selection of premium offerings containing full-size bottles of gin. How we test gin gift sets Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA.

People try our gin for its reputation and stay for the taste.”

Our expert panel worked their way through each item in 21 gift sets, looking for smooth, easy-drinking gins with well-balanced botanicals. Additional items were judged on flavour and quality, while also taking into consideration the overall presentation. Cotswolds Gin uses single-shot distillation to ensure the big flavours remain once tonic is added, and doesn’t use chill-filtering as Daniel believes the cloudy appearance of their gin adds another unique aspect. This promise of flavour is proven through their many awards such as ‘World’s Best Gin’ for their London Dry Gin in 2016 and a ‘Great Taste Award’ in 2019. Seven years ago, Daniel Szor turned away from his career in finance to build a distillery in the Cotswolds. Born out of his love for gin and the location, it became a passion that has continued to grow. Like most industries, Cotswolds Gin faced anxiety when the Covid-19 pandemic began, wondering how they would cope and what would happen to the company.
