What our members say

I love gin. I would like to expand the gin market in Japan. Being part of this membership will help me remain motivated. It will also mean I’m in a good place to educate customers and bartenders more about gin and what I learn from The Gin Guild. And this should ensure customers will respect gin more than they used to.

I greatly enjoy being a member of the Gin Guild. The network of gin friends and professionals is exceptional and a huge benefit not only to me personally but for the gin community of the spirits industry at large. Since joining in 2019 I have appreciated being included in both the educational initiatives and social opportunities this incredible group provides.

I cannot recommend membership of the Gin Guild highly enough; the access to networking, education, debate and information on legislative and production related issues as well as on trade and marketing topics is above the standard of any other industry body I know. And don’t doubt your eligibility for membership: if you are reading this, you are very likely not just eligible to join us, but would be a welcome addition to the Guild, which grows in numbers each year, adding members from new countries each time.

The Gin Guild has been instrumental in guiding and protecting this splendid and rapidly expanding spirit, and it has also given us all the opportunity to get to know each other and enjoy the fruits of our labours.

The Gin Guild has provided a community that I am proud to be a part of. I feel like by joining I actually became part of a family that provides constant support.

Meeting the stalwarts in the industry and answering and asking key questions is one of the best features of membership. It's the "peer" group association that is priceless. Friends and experts for life. This factor is often missed when folks attend courses, conferences and events. It is one reason that live events rather than online seminars will continue to be the best avenue for organisations. Plus the invites to visit members at their distilleries are most welcome!

The Gin Guild is an important institution and I think everyone agrees how beneficial this network is to all of us personally and professionally, as well as to the continued success of the gin category.

Joining the Gin Guild has been one of the most rewarding decisions I have made both personally and for Alpine Distilling as a business. The Guild offers a remarkable community of passionate, knowledgeable professionals who are committed to excellence in gin. From sustainability initiatives to educational resources and industry advocacy, the support and opportunities have been invaluable. It’s an organisation that truly elevates and unites the global gin community.

The Guild connects us all, it protects us, and it enhances our business. It is a hub for regulatory guidance, support, information, introductions, and the ability to apply pressure in the right places!

The Guild is the heart to which we are connected as Gin distillers, regardless of where we are in the world.

As a representative of family distiller William Grant and Sons it’s a great honour to be in a position where we have the opportunity through The Gin Guild to really help nurture the industry as it continues its exciting growth and explosion in innovation. We’re committed to driving excellence in the way that gin is served, as well as in the way it is distilled – because it’s integral that one supports the other.

I have never in my career seen such a gathering of gin industry players.

I am fascinated by the gin industry as it is so dynamic and diverse. Joining The Gin Guild has enabled me to connect with like-minded people in the industry and opens up an array of opportunities.

The Gin Guild not only unites the gin community across discipline— distillers and other industry leaders— but it unites the gin community across the world. I'm based in the U.S. but I feel part of a global community united through gin. Since joining in 2019, it's been amazing to see how educational events like Ginposium have transformed the way we share knowledge and the way we just talk about gin as professionals! Gin is truly in!
