On March 8th, we celebrate International Women's Day, a day honouring the cultural, political, and socio-economic achievements of women worldwide. For us, this day holds special significance for two reasons - not only did we launch our beloved Aranami Strength gin five years ago on this day, but Hidden Curiosities itself is a female-led company. Allow us to introduce you to the driving force behind Hidden Curiosities - Jennifer Lane. As the creator, director, and owner, Jenny's passion and dedication have been the guiding light behind everything we do. From meticulously researching and sampling gins to create something unique of her own, to the daily running of the company, Hidden Curiosities is a labour of love that is fuelled by...

Hidden Curiosities gin creator Jenny, fuelled by a profound appreciation for cardamom, decided to explore its aromatic potential beyond the distillery. She took...
