Solace (noun comfort in a time of great distress).
Cuckoo Gin is made with love and the spirit of our family and community, using special ingredients that gave our Liz the strength she needed to fight a rare and aggressive form of cervical cancer in January 2019. Through her cancer journey, Liz and everyone at our distillery have been inspired to help raise awareness about the importance of cervical screening. To show our gratitude for the support we received, a percentage of proceeds from this bottle will be donated to Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust who are helping others in similar situations. So let’s continue to raise both awareness and a glass, to family, friends and new beginnings
