A bit of background
The story so far
The Duloe Gin Co was started in 2019 by four friends that unsurprisingly live in Duloe in South East Cornwall.
Like a lot of businesses, the idea came from an evening spent eating good food and drinking good wine. But whereas most people drop their 'dinner party ideas' in the cold light of day, we didn't.
Our first gin was called Stone Circle Original and the real test was if we ourselves would drink it. Let's face it if we didn't drink it, why would anyone else?
The Duloe Gin Co has been an exciting adventure for the four of us. We've done extensive trials and spent long evenings tasting different botanicals (it's a tough life) and what we've created is a product that we're really proud of. A product we drink together as friends and a product that we would recommend to you our new friends.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
We are delighted to have been awarded a commended in The Taste of the West product awards in 2020 for our original Gin.
The four friends
It's good fun to run a business between good friends and that's we've done with the Duloe Gin Co.
When it comes to making gin we are a great team.
All of us have been involved in the hospitality industry at various points in our careers, one for her whole working life.
We also happen to have a scientist and what this person doesn't know about creating a formula isn't worth knowing.
The best bit is we work as a team - one half producing the gin & one half promoting & selling the finished product.
Once we decided on our name we took time and care choosing the actual gin botanicals, the bottles & the finished look.
When you think about it, we're lucky, because we're doing something we love, we think we've created a great product and are delighted that others already agree.

Our thoughts on gin
What goes with our gin
Good gin, like ours at the Duloe Gin Co, is a lot like good quality food, you should never overpower it and you should always be able to actually taste it. In our case we believe that you should be able to recognise that unmistakable taste of gin and it should never be a bland alcoholic spirit that just gets you merry.
But there’s always room for improvement, which is why our gin has a wonderfully refreshing hint of grapefruit & cucumber that cuts right the way through it. But underneath it all is that distinctive combination of juniper berries, a hint of spice and natural Duloe spring water that creates the taste that we all love … amazing quality gin.
On the subject of what you should be drinking with our gin, we have to say we’ve always been fans of decent quality mixers and we recommend Fevertree tonic as the perfect serve. Stone Circle original tastes super with their Mediterranean tonic, but for those of you with a slightly sweeter tooth their Sicilian lemonade is a winner.
Great gin and quality tonic is just one of those combinations that work in life, a bit like tomato and basil, cheese and pickle, Eric and Ernie or Ant and Dec.
We just feel that our premium gin, deserves the very best mixers that you can find, the sort of mixers that allow the taste of gin to sing … otherwise, what’s the point.
