About 6 O'Clock Gin

Some gins are good, some are great, but 6 O’Clock Gin is in a league of its own. At Liquor Geeks, we’ve curated the finest selections to bring you a gin that’s as refined as it is flavorful. Made with a careful mix of seven key botanicals—including juniper berries, orange peel, elderflower, angelica root, and others—this gin is distilled in a traditional copper pot still, giving it a balanced taste with just the right hint of citrus and spice. Available in a perfectly portioned 750ml bottle, 6 O’Clock Gin is made to be savored—whether in a classic G&T, a creative cocktail, or simply on the rocks.

Why is 6 O'Clock Gin So Popular?

Maybe you’ve sipped it, maybe you’ve seen its signature blue bottle, or maybe you’re just curious. Either way, it’s time to discover why this gin has earned its place at the top.

A Legacy Rooted in Tradition

What started nearly 30 years ago as a fruit farm turned into a gin revolution! Edward and Penny Kain’s passion for crafting fruity liqueurs eventually led to their signature gin recipe. Their children, Michael and Felicity, have since refined this legacy, ensuring that the family's passion for quality spirits continues to flourish.

Distillation Excellence: Meet 'Kathleen'

Like Damrak Gin, which is distilled five times in a copper pot still, 6 O’Clock Gin owes its smoothness to Kathleen, a one-of-a-kind copper pot still. Designed with a unique "double sphere," it allows for prolonged copper contact, ensuring only the purest, most refined flavors make it into your glass.

Made With Best Natural Botanicals

A Great gin is all about balance, and like Luis Gin 8, 6 O’Clock Gin nails it with its seven handpicked botanicals. Here’s what makes each one shine:

• Juniper: Like Junipero Gin, juniper is the star here, delivering its signature pine and citrus notes.

• Orange Peel: Dried peel imparts mild marmalade sweetness and enhances the gin's smoothness.

• Angelica: Provides earthy flavor with herbal bitterness.

• Winter Savory: A Mediterranean herb that adds green, woody aromas and flavors.

• Orris Root: Provides a sweet violet scent and acts as a fixative, preserving the aromas of other botanicals.

• Elderflower: Adds a gentle floral aroma and freshness, lending lightness to the gin.

• Coriander Seed: Coriander seed adds citrus notes that enhance the juniper, bringing warmth and depth—just like in Ford's Gin.

These unique qualities of 6 O'Clock Gin have brought numerous awards and accolades, including Silver at the International Wine & Spirit Competition, Gold in the London Dry category at The Gin Masters (The Spirits Business), and many more.

6 O'Clock Sloe Gin

If you're looking for a flavorful gin that isn't overly sweet and doesn't come with the premium price tag of Hendrick's Gin, 6 O'Clock Sloe Gin is a must-try. Made with hand-picked, wild, hedgerow sloes in small batches, this traditional classic deep and fruity taste comes from using a high sloe-to-gin ratio, adding a bit of sugar, and letting it mature slowly for at least six months. 

In this gin, you'll taste rich, sweet fruit aromas of plum with a hint of subtle spice and flavours of Kirsch cherry. Compared to stronger options like Plymouth Gin, this gin offers a lighter alternative with a 26% ABV—just the right balance for sipping neat or mixing into cocktails.

The Art of 6 O'Clock Gin Tasting

Tips for Tasting 6 O'Clock Gin Like a Pro

Want to enjoy 6 O’Clock Gin's real flavor? Follow these simple steps for the best-tasting experience:

1. Start with a Clean Palate
   Before you begin, avoid strong flavors like coffee or spicy foods for at least 15 minutes. This helps your taste buds pick up the gin’s delicate notes without interference.
   

2. Smell Before You Sip
   Begin by pouring a small amount of gin into a glass and gently swirling it. Then, take a slow sniff and notice the notes and hints of botanicals.
   

3. Try It Neat First
   Let a tiny sip sit on your tongue for about 10-12 seconds. This will allow the gin flavors to unfold and experience how the flavor evolves as it lingers.
   

4. Add Ice and Taste Again
   Drop in an ice cube and let it chill for a moment. Now, sip again—notice how the cold softens some flavors and highlights others.
   

5. Mix with Tonic
   Just like with Gin Mare or Mezcal MG Gin, pair this with tonic to enhance the botanicals' taste and create a perfectly balanced drink without overpowering them.

Food Pairings with 6 O'Clock Gin

Looking for the perfect bite to enjoy with your gin? Here are some top food pairings to try out:

• Seafood: The zesty citrus notes in 6 O’Clock Gin, like those in The Gardener Gin, perfectly complement smoked salmon or grilled prawns.

• Soft Cheeses – A smooth, creamy cheese like brie or goat cheese provides a rich contrast to the gin’s crisp juniper and botanical hints.

• Savory Snacks—If you love nibbles, try salty almonds or briny olives. They enhance the gin’s herbal depth and offer a refreshing treat.
