LOCAL GIN COMPANY GEARS UP FOR FIRST CLASS FUN
A gin company based in Warwick is taking its unique concept on the road thanks to the acquisition of a new events’ bus. It marks the start of an exciting new journey for That Gin Company brand, which started life as That Gin & Cocktail Bar in Swan Street.
The converted double-decker Cocktail Tours Bus can host up to 50 guests, it features state-of-the-art LED lighting and sound system, and a bar selling a wide range of alcoholic drinks, including cocktails/mocktails, spirits, beers, wine and fizz.
Guests can also ensure the on-board bar is stocked with their choices from That Gin Company’s huge range of unique made-to-order gin recipes and cocktails, with something for every palate guaranteed. There is also the opportunity to pre-order food options from a specialist menu. This is the latest chapter of growth for Steve Bazell and his team who, last year, also launched an online shop continuing the success of their bar in Warwick.
Steve said: “We are passionate about our customers and ensuring they have the best possible experience. We aim to curate bespoke experiences through the bar, our bespoke gins and now the cocktail tour bus”.

‘ L E AMINGTON L ICKE R’ INSPIRES NEW SPECIAL EDITION RUMS
Leamington boxing legend Randolph Turpin is the inspiration behind two new special-edition rums released by an award-winning local distillery Warwickshire Gin Company.
The Pugilist, Sting Like a Bee Honey Rum and Pugilist Ghost Edition White Rum, are in honour of the sporting great, who went down in British boxing history for his sensational world title win against the legendary Sugar Ray Robinson: earning himself the nickname ‘The Leamington Licker’. His statue can be found in Warwick’s Market Square.
Dave Blick, who established Warwickshire Gin Company at Victoria Business Centre in 2018, said: “With our local legend being Randolph Turpin, boxing is still a very strong sport in Leamington and Warwick. We are using Guyanan rum spirit as a base in honour of Turpin’s Guyanan family heritage. Born in Leamington of Guyana heritage, Turpin became a hero overnight. To commemorate him, we have celebrated his Guyanan heritage and added our special Warwickshire spice blend to create warming, rich rum.
For the new Sting Like a Bee edition, we have rectified with orange peel and finished off with local honey sourced from Kazim’s Bees and Honey in Warwick. It is best enjoyed neat over ice or pairs well with Sicilian

lemonade. The Pugilist Ghost Edition White Rum is one for the rum purists and is best enjoyed neat over ice or maybe with a drop of lime”
The inspiration behind the Warwickshire Gin Company collection comes from a desire to capture a moment in history, developing flavours to fully represent the county’s own unique story and bringing the range of hand-crafted flavours to life.
