Masons got straight to work on strengthening their digital channels to meet the surge in online demand as on-trade venues closed down. This involved recruiting digital experts, bolstering relationships with online retailers and maintaining effective communication with consumers as government guidance changed. Karl is optimistic for the future with his dedicated team and the supportive gin community banding together yet again. And, in keeping with Masons’ no-nonsense outlook, he has a simple ambition for 2021.

Masons’ meticulous attention to detail paid off when it released its first gin, The Original, which went on to earn several accolades including the Great Taste Award 2017, Gold at the World Gin Awards 2018 and 2020 and Gold at The Spirits Business Awards 2020. 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.

How we test gin gift sets Masons has been dubbed ‘Yorkshire’s first gin’ since its birth in 2013, being the first gin distiller to represent the county’s long association with quality food and drink. Founders Karl and Cathy Mason, however, wanted the world to know they have even more to offer.

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.” Karl described: “There’s no smoke and mirrors here. We simply do everything in the best way we can for taste and quality, never for speed or low cost.”

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. Born in London, but with an added Yorkshire twist, Masons Lavender edition gin and fresh Yorkshire raspberries. This modern classic mingles delicate Lavender gin with sweet Crème de Mure and sharp lemon juice. Everyone forgot their regular jobs and helped out wherever they could, which included securing offices to work from and communicating with consumers. They were amazing.”
