Explorer Club June – Verona Gin

Explorer Club June – Verona Gin

For this month’s Explorer Club release, member Richard takes us on a journey to his favourite place in the world—Verona, Italy. Inspired by sun-drenched Italian piazzas, afternoon Aperol Spritz, and memories of Richard’s travels with the Royal Navy, we set out to bottle the pure essence of a Mediterranean evening.

Distilled right here in Yorkshire by Forged Spirits, this elegant 43% ABV gin is beautifully structured. Bright citrus layers of lemon and sweet orange meet a subtle hint of rhubarb—a nod to the classic Italian aperitivo—while a finish of rich cacao nibs pays tribute to the dark chocolate notes of fine Amarone wines.

Meet the Blush Eclipse – the standout serve from this month’s Explorer Club box! We’ve paired our handcrafted Yorkshire Strawberry & Raspberry Pink Gin with Fever-Tree’s delicate White Grape & Apricot Soda. Topped with a dehydrated blood orange wheel, it’s crisp, elegant, and dangerously easy to drink. Light, refined, and not overly sweet—your new favourite sundowner has arrived.Master the craft of the perfect Rum Martini with Forged Spirits.

If you’ve received our latest cocktail kit, you’re holding the components of something truly special. We’ve moved away from the traditional gin base to create an invention of our own: a Rum Martini that balances the bold, copper-distilled character of Forged Spirits Rum with the delicate sweetness of lychee and honey.

Help Us WIth Our Spring Gin

Help Us WIth Our Spring Gin

The first bite of crisp air, the sudden burst of green against a grey sky, and that unmistakable scent of damp earth and blooming jasmine—Spring isn’t just a season; it’s a feeling.

At Forged Spirits we believe gin is the ultimate storyteller. A single botanical can transport you from your kitchen table to a sun-drenched meadow or a hidden coastal path. As we dust off our garden furniture and look toward longer days, we want to know: What is the “flavour” of Spring for you?

Is it the sharp, nostalgic tang of homegrown rhubarb? The delicate perfume of elderflower on a breeze? Or perhaps a specific memory—like that first G&T enjoyed alfresco while wearing a sweater you’ll soon be able to ditch?
