Have you noticed that there is a hell of a lot of gin out there? It can take years to try them all and find something really worth sipping. Fortunately, you have Lassou, a marketplace for independent brands that are doing things a bit differently. Here are 5 gin brands that stand out in a crowded gin market and bring something new to the table. Check them out and order a bottle of great tasting-gin.

Kokoro Gin

Kokoro Gin is a Japanese-inspired gin created with organic Sansho berries, which are hand-picked in the Afan Woodland in the Japanese Alps. The berries are picked by hand at the start of the season when they are at their freshest, flash froze and packed in dry ice back to the UK, where along with 7 other botanicals they are distilled into Kokoro gin and gin liqueurs.

The Sansho berry is a star of the Kokoro gin. This small berry is what gives Kokoro its distinctive flavour. A citrusy zing balanced by a warm and peppery finish. It’s the soul of the forest, at the heart of our gin.

10% of the profit from every bottle sold goes back to the Afan Woodland Trust to protect this beautiful forest in the Japanese Alps.

Except for the smooth and delicate Kokoro London Dry Gin, the range of tantalizing gin liqueurs is available.

Brighton Gin

Brighton Gin is a true spirit of Brighton. This is a handcrafted gin made born of a passion for gin, and a passion for the place: unusual, fun-loving, open-minded, fiercely independent and ethically conscious.

Every bottle of Brighton Gin is filled, waxed and labelled by hand by the friends-and-family team, and is the UK’s first vegan-certified gin, including not only the liquid but the packaging, label gum and wax top.

Our gin is produced ethically and sustainably, and the brand contributes positively to the community it is rooted in.

Brighton Gin's botanicals include lime and milk thistle and make a deeply refreshing Gin & Tonic.
