Masons’ honest and straight-talking attitude is a major appeal for its consumer base, which is reflected in the way the business sets out to make its world-famous gins. Karl said: “There are a number of multicoloured bottles these days trying to grab your attention, but we wanted to show we’re all about what’s inside.”A twist on an Aperol Spritz and a classic G&T! In collaboration with The Ice Co we created the ‘Summer Spritz’ using our award-winning Original gin. Busting with citrussy flavours, this is the perfect serve for summertime. We have taken our award-winning Tea Edition and mixed up our classic serve suggestion by using Fentimans Bitter Lemonade. Karl said: “A big challenge now is every distiller is competing for online sales, but we are all in this together and willing to help each other out as I learned in 2019.” Masons uses a single-shot distilling process with a London Dry method for its gins, including botanicals from Yorkshire and beyond. Karl continued: “We’re very critical of ourselves and scrutinise every step in the distilling process to get the best possible flavour out of our gins. This means we do things very, very slowly to get it right.”

The revived business was ready to take 2020 by storm, and although the Covid-19 outbreak changed the plans of every distiller, Masons was prepared for the unexpected. Karl explained: “We were so used to adapting to the worst possible circumstances that we approached Covid-19 quite calmly. The couple’s reputation within the community allowed them to recruit dedicated and passionate staff, who would prove vital to the brand’s survival when fire broke out in 2019 and destroyed the distillery.
