First discovered this business in Edinburgh and was so impressed I travelled from Leeds to York specifically to replace the Seville orange gin that was long drunk. It’s a shop full of demijohns full of exquisite and unusual liqueurs, whisky, vodka, mead… Oh and the other side of the shop is devoted to oils and vinegars. You can try before you buy which is helpful given the choice available I love the fact that you choose the bottle size and shape and once filled the staff write in silver what the contents, alcohol percentage and location of its manufacture are. I reckon stylish handwriting must be a essential criteria when recruiting and a really friendly manner!!! Not cheap but the quality justifies the price.

I have never been so impressed at entering a new shop as I have here… The staff were warm and welcoming allowing us to try as many things as we liked, with no pressure. The concept of Demijohn is that of a liquid deli, selling both vinegars and oils for your cooking, as well as wines and spirits for afterwards. You buy your bottle from them, due to EU regulations, but you can then fill it with anything you like, and take it back for refills. The staff were incredible friendly and welcoming, allowing us to try many different products, even after we’d chosen what we were having, as well as advising us on various combinations we could try. If you’re ever in York you simply have to try this place!
