5.0 out of 5 starsFabulous Gin
By Bore Duo on February 3, 2014
Size: Gin Kit
OK, the immediate reason I am giving this kit 5 stars is that the other reviews are just far too low.

For those people who say this kit doesn't make "real gin," WRONG. I read up on what "real gin is," and it is "any agricultural-based alcohol whose primary flavor is from Juniper berries." Starting with vodka -- which is nothing more than alcohol made by distilling potatoes -- is a perfectly acceptable starting point. Want to know what "real" gin makers start with? The answer is all kinds of starting alcohols, but mostly alcohol from sugar beets, because it is the cheapest.

Next up -- the history of gin. Gin has been made by either soaking the berries and spices in the alcohol, or by hanging them in a basked inside the still. The main difference is the final color. If you use the historical soaking method, you get more solids and some color, like amber. If you use the distillation method, you get only the volatiles and the result is clear. The latter method is called "distilled gin," unlike the soaking method, which this kit uses, which is plain, "gin."

Then -- flavor. I loved the flavor I got from this kit (it was a gift). So did everyone else I let taste it, including a goodly number of spirit snobs. A few found the flavor too potent, we we diluted this gin with "regular" gin about 1:1 and that was a big hit, too.

And -- it was fun to make. The little flasks are cool.

Finally, I am going to buy more spices and make some more.

5.0 out of 5 starsJust clearing up some misconceptions
By actusreus on April 1, 2014
Size: Gin Kit
Havn't yet bought this kit but am interested in doing so. For those who dismiss it because it uses vodka realize that all gin starts as neutral spirits usually made from grain but not necessarily so. When it is bottled in the 80 to 140 proof range we call it... yes, vodka. No gin starts out as gin per se. Most gins are infused by re distilling the base spirit with botanicals (usually juniper + numerous other ingredients) either immersed in the base spirit or often in a tray hanging between the pot and the condenser. The method used by the Home Gin Kit is to infuse the vodka. Yes it is infused vodka, but is incorrect to say it is not gin. The term for this is compound gin. As another reviewer pointed out, the color may be different than the clear gin to which we are accustomed. But this is not the only way to infuse color into gin. For example, I recommend that any gin lover try an aged gin such as Roundhouse Barrel Aged Gin out of Boulder, Colorado. Of course, when we put grain spirits in wood we usually call it... whiskey. Whatever the title, enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat gift!!
By Tykamo on June 10, 2014
Size: Gin Kit
What a cool gift! Received this as a birthday present and had more fun making / sharing my own delicious concoction with friends. We even did a blind taste test with a few store bought gins (ie Hendricks, London Dry, Tanqueray) and my homemade spirit won hands down across multiple groups of friends. It's now become my go-to gift for my brothers, dad, friends who seem to have everything, booze hounds, and creative / do-it-yourself-ers. Recipients seem to love it just as much as I do. Great product!

4.0 out of 5 starsA Crushing Review
By Steve Tedder on September 16, 2015
Size: Gin Kit
Here's a handy tip. If you want a stronger juniper flavor, and most will, crush the juniper berries before adding them to the vodka. The instructions don't mention this, but I think you'll like it. If you want more juniper berries, they're available at the spice counter at any major grocery store.

Come to think of it, bruising the botanical mixture probably wouldn't hurt.

3.0 out of 5 starsNeat idea, a bit over priced for what it is.
By John R Jacobs on January 4, 2014
Size: Gin Kit
The box includes everything shown in the picture and pretty straightforward instructions. You do have to buy a 750ml bottle of vodka to make the gin by adding juniper berries and the other botanicals provided. Before getting the kit I would not have thought this was gin but it seems consistent with how it is frequently made. [...]

4.0 out of 5 starsA bit marked up for what it is, but a good end product.
By J. Rousse on July 25, 2016
Size: Gin Kit Verified Purchase
What a great marketing idea this product is. To be able to sell two plain glass bottles, a metal funnel, and two tiny canisters of juniper berries and herbs for $35... the markup here is probably just as good as (or perhaps even better than) selling actual liquor in a real bar.

Yet, the concept is a cool one, and having this starter hardware makes getting into gin-steeping on the ground floor that much easier for newbies like me. There were a few people at my party who tried the gin this produced, who ended up preferring commercial gin that was less herbal. However, I (and most others) really enjoyed it. I look forward to further experimentation with my own herbal mixes, now that I understand the applied concepts here.

While I do feel slightly taken advantage of with regard to what you get (physically) for what you pay, helping motivated DIYers to realize how easy it is to turn vodka into gin was the real "purchase" that made paying this markup seem worthwhile. It will pay dividents in the long run.

4.0 out of 5 starsPretty sweet gift
By KayC Liz on January 13, 2016
Size: Gin Kit Verified Purchase
Purchased as a Christmas gift. Fast shipping and was a big hit. Doesn't take long to make and my brother-in-law had fun making his own gin. If you're expecting "top shelf" gin than you will be highly disappointed, but if you're good with regular ole "blue collar" gin, than you should check this out because it's not too shabby. There is a lil bit of an aftertaste, but it's not bad. The bottles that come with the kit are awesome, makes the price tolerable.
