…through a special, slow distilling process, the boffins at Hayman’s have turbocharged the flavour. As a result, you only need to use 5ml of the spirit to produce a typical gin and tonic.

Low- and no-alcohol drinks are becoming big business but it’s a tricky category for gin-makers to enter as the spirit has to be a minimum of 37.5% ABV by law. Hayman’s have ingeniously tackled this, not by reducing the ABV, but by increasing the flavour. So much so that only a 5ml thimbleful of 43% Small Gin packs as much flavour as a full-strength gin and tonic but contains only 0.2 units of alcohol per serve. It’s super clever stuff and damn tasty too. And just look at that dinky little thimble and beautiful gift box!
