To answer a few questions in the comments: There should not be an apostrophe on James, because it isn’t possessive. The brand is James, the drink is gin. We may one day make a rum: James Rum. It’s James Gin for the same reason that a certain small hatchback is a Ford Fiesta, not Ford’s Fiesta. Some people have suggested that there should always be four figures in the numbering, starting 0001. But I reduced it to three figures for the first 999 bottles so you could enjoy some significant numbers on bottles: 007, 101, 420, 666, 999, plus some others (if you spot them). That is all.
I appreciate how plain the box is. Having been to business school I understand the cost of crazily designed boxes. Which I don't want to pay for when I'm just gonna throw the box away.
If you go to the "shipping policy" page of the jamesgin website, there is a mailto button that 'registers' your interest for international distribution. I sent an e-mail, and I reckon we all should!
Unfortunate we cannot get this shipped to the US, for many great reasons I am sure. Love the laboratory look to it, an inevitable treasure to those that are so lucky to get their hands on a bottle. Remember to buy two, one to enjoy and the other to show off. ;) Also don't forget to post your 'Captain Slow Gin Fizz'. For those critical enough.. yes I know it is Sloe when making the cocktail.
Can't wait until we can finally get it in Germany as well! Always a pleasure to watch James unboxing anything... he always manages to make you feel (at least mostly) the excitement he's got to feel while unboxing... no worries about the signature - at least James has got a short name :) try to sign in such a small field with a double name!
Great collectors item, people who actually end up opening and drinking one of these instead of the upcoming unlimited batch will regret it. Wish I had the ability to order it.
As I can't stand gin, I think the next pub linked project should be to acquire a vineyard with a decent variety of grape and produce a red wine of distinction. I will even volunteer my tasting skills such as they are.
My paintbrushes are fluffed once again, Absolutely impressed with your making of your GIN! Yaya it looks to be a perfect blend. *So happy your pub has a "Your House Gin" Cheers
We need Hammond to make his famous gin and tonic with it for an endorsement. Is there a James tonic to perfectly compliment the James gin in the works?
Free Advice Dept.: Some types of pens (i.e. their ink) doesn't last very long, but fades away over a period of only several years. I saw a video of someone that had a baseball with several famous autographs, that had all faded out. Furthermore, one should also confirm if the ink is gin-resistant. Cheers.
Hate to break it to you but the 001 needs to be burned immediately and replaced with 0001. You could alter that one but the first zero will clash with the blue bit.
hahaha! I knew he was going to gaff it up! Thanks for helping me keep my faith in you, James! You never fail to entertain me! :) Wonderful candid video.
Dear Mr. James May, I have a question. I have purchased a bottle of the Batch One Asian Parsnip, and my order number is 2110. How is it possible that the order number is higher than the total amount of bottles in the batch, which is 1420? Except you are using hexadecimal numbers for your batch... Best regards. Anton
I just roasted some parsnips and all through it I was hearing "The parsnip informs the flavour of the gin" playing over and over and over and over in my head.
I like the fact that the base of the bottle has a punt in it. Will they all be like that? I'm looking forwards to getting mine, though I suspect, quite strongly, that the other denizens of my house, will 'help' me to drink it. Possibly a lot of 'help', too.
I’ve just had an email to say my bottle of batch 001 will be delivered on Friday! It’s an anniversary present for my gin loving other half. It’s our 10th anniversary - hope he likes it!

I wholeheartedly respect the 420 mention and i hope it was a great experience making your own gin!
What does 420 represent?
@@victoriaparker2705 Adolf Hitler's birthday.
Jesus James, Your are stating to look like Sheogorath in Skyrim.
Is there an option to get this in America?
“Roughly my idea” is how James takes ownership of the gin with his name on it.
And that should be the name of the gin: "James May's 'Roughly My Idea' Gin".
LoL, too true 🤣
I can hear Jeremy yelling “STOP TALKING. GET ON WITH IT..”
Lol that was James' attitude when he did the wine-show with Oz Clarke
Helvetica font for the label.
How delightfully... Standard.
Ebay will be full of James Gin coming soon. Look out for 001 LOL!
Yeah he should not have made that challenge because some moonshiner will be selling his shine as James gin so he can make a bit extra
Laced with cyanide
looks like it belongs in a laboratory with skull symbols on it
Shouldn't it be 0001 since you have more than 1000 bottles?
lol
Was thinking exactly the same
It's the batch number, not the bottle number.
@@D30x1r1b0nukl31nsyra don't be an idiot, why would James hand write the batch number.
Thinking the same. Should have been 0001
As an American in America-shire - I was gin-blocked by local and international laws.
James did His first unboxing as a joke and now he is the best at it on you tube 😂
I appreciate how plain the box is. Having been to business school I understand the cost of crazily designed boxes. Which I don't want to pay for when I'm just gonna throw the box away.
That bbc reflex "other pens are available" both kills me and brings a tear to my eye
James’ voice has a very soothing ASMR quality to it
James mate, you’re an absolute tripper, please, never change ❤️
He's 173 years old, not likely to change now 🤣
That box is going to come in very handy for storing more of my endless collection of computer cables.
£39. 😂😂😂
Can’t wait to unbox my lovely bottle of May juice.
*M A Y J U I C E* 💀🤭🤣😭
Hopefully this will be available in the US in the not too distant future, cardboard box and all!

I think you can now. There's a 'Buy Now (USA)' button on the website.
@@mysteryegg340 Thank you for this information. Adding to cart now!
May should label all bottles as “001” for the lulz 🤪
Suprised its not in Spitfire colors and he calls it "Flood the cowling, plenty of it"
How disappointing ... the every first bottle of James' Gin is empty. Sure hope they all don't get delivered that way. Thanks for the content
Must be a very dry gin .

Me filling up my glass for the 4th time with James gin: “plenty of it flood the cowling”
Love your watch, James.
Congratulations James and Co.
I get goosebumps as that pen squeaks on the paper.
You need to start watching ASMR vids then 😂
I'm jelly. I got the "brain tingle" thing watching aJanis Joplin documentary one night (I'm not joking) and now I cannot replicate that feeling.
Am I alone in thinking that James finally looks like he was always meant to? Very professorial, like he should be a teacher at a liberal arts school.
hi James, hi everyone ! stay safes
LoL The bottle of Gin looks like a bottle of hydroalcoholic gel x)
My bottle arrived today, got number 184 very happy with it. Looking forward to drinking it when I retire in 16 years
I really wish there was a way to get this over here in Canada! It sounds delicious.
Or the US...everyone hates us, but you're beloved, why can't you get it? lol
V minimalist James. Rather sick label design brethren. 👍🏻
"...austere and straightened times"... with a £3k + bicycle in the background...🤣. Nice to see that you're out there "living on the edge" James.
I like the bottle, understated elegance.

Yay for earth friendly packaging!!
For 1420 bottles, shouldn't it be 0001?
No, because all 1420 bottles are batch 001
@@GAmbrose batch 001 yes, but James signed it as bottle 001 also
He is bad in physics.
He was filling in the space on the label so it couldn’t be tampered with that’s why he added two zeros
@@silverdoe3658 it can still be tampered with hence the benefit of the third zero
Spit of Billy Connolly with that goatee
My bottle of JMGin my bottle arrived last week in an oblong box with no padding. A miracle the bottle survived.
0:49 I love that they showed this shot, so those of us outside the UK can attempt to make our own.
My paintbrushes are fluffed once again,
Absolutely impressed with your making of your GIN!
Yaya it looks to be a perfect blend. *So happy your pub has a "Your House Gin" Cheers
Looks like a bottle you'd find at a funeral home labelled "Embalming Fluid" ;-)
Remember when Food Tribe videos weren’t constantly trying to sell us stuff? I miss those days
This is exciting
Love the green Klein mountain bike in the background.
Nice! I just got 'FIFTH GEAR GIN' in the mail today! Just in time to drink it and enjoy some of James may! 😬
Please make this available in the USA
Mines already ordered a few days ago cant wait!!!
I'm really curious to see Clarkson and Hammond's reaction to the gin. Bottle 003.
We have James's Gin and a candle that smells like Jezza's bollocks, what's Hammond making?
Hammond Airbags
@@browneyesjesus yeah he should right
A mess? :D
I bought Jeremy bollocks candle great smell
@@tyronewhitehead3123 does it smell like his bollocks in the middle of filming a top gear special in a very hot climate?
Chuck that bottle straight at the next episode of Antiques Road Show. If they quibble, show 'em a photo of James.
I first thought ugh what a hideous bottle but it grows on you just that old classic feel
Ordered my bottle when it was first offered for sale. Hope i get bottle number 1.
We need Hammond to make his famous gin and tonic with it for an endorsement. Is there a James tonic to perfectly compliment the James gin in the works?
A label inspired by Geigy! Genius! 👌👏⭐
"This is going into a museum somewhere" You gotta love James' humility
Great. Now I can take a screenshot of that label, and make my own James May 001 labels and sell them on eBay.. 🤣
FYI you can only buy it if you live in mainland UK. I'm from Ireland and I was very disappointed that the option to post here wasn't even available. 😕
The idea of this sounds delicious so I can't wait to sample some of the regular labelled cheaper priced stuff
There is another brand thats been doing parsnip for 6 years if you cant get into the limited runs.
I know its gonna take James about 2 years to sign all the labels because he's such a perfectionist he'll re-do them a million times
James May has officially become the Walter White of gin
but it's not blue.
This is the moment when James May became Bimberg.
James Gin delivery just arrived…I feel an unboxing moment is imminent
Love the echo sound effect
Hey, guys! Number 1378 here. Just gotten my bottle. Thanks James!
In James May's office there is no shredder - just your regular pits of hellfire, placed in a neat symmetric way.
Congrats!

Hes going to get to 999 until he realises he missed a zero
”Oh, C**k” (bad word self-censored comment)
Hate to break it to you but the 001 needs to be burned immediately and replaced with 0001. You could alter that one but the first zero will clash with the blue bit.
Ours has just arrived! We’re going in even though it’s a work night!!! It’s deeeeeeeeeliiiiiiiiicious. Hic. Love from Spam Plate Lady 😊
I ordered 2! So EXCITED very much into Gin
We need a tasting note from Oz Clarke
That bottle looks like it belongs on the shelf at the pharmacy. I mean if that's what you're going for great I guess...
Or at a funeral home labelled "Embalming Fluid" ;-)
It's like watching the Open University and James is Denzel !!!
i cant wait to order it :) you better be sending to switzerland james... i know where ur pub is now i will find you
I hope James will make more batches and will ship worldwide. I live in USA and i already sent an e-mail 👍
Shouldn't that be 0001?
hahaha! I knew he was going to gaff it up! Thanks for helping me keep my faith in you, James! You never fail to entertain me! :) Wonderful candid video.

How is it possible that the order number is higher than the total amount of bottles in the batch, which is 1420?
Except you are using hexadecimal numbers for your batch...

I wish i could buy a bottle but sadly no shipping to Canada 😞
I just roasted some parsnips and all through it I was hearing "The parsnip informs the flavour of the gin" playing over and over and over and over in my head.
Yay I’m definitely gonna buy some
Jezza would say very kind things but hammond will be a huge fan
Being teased by James May’s Gin videos, and tormented I cannot get it to asynchronously sample with Food Tribe
Come on James. Shipping is UK only. You need to let the rest of us try it.
Sure do wish we could get it in the US.
I like the fact that the base of the bottle has a punt in it. Will they all be like that? I'm looking forwards to getting mine, though I suspect, quite strongly, that the other denizens of my house, will 'help' me to drink it. Possibly a lot of 'help', too.
I really want to try it but i cant drink spirits without expecting a knock on the door from the old bill the next day... 😂😂
It's not James's Gin it is just James' Gin. No extra 's.'
This annoyed me too
Maybe they wanna pronounce it as "Jamessesses Gin", sorta like Hennessy
i dont even know what gin tastes like, yet i still enjoy all of your gin videos
edit : i just remembered that bombay sapphire is gin
Theres a way to remedy that lack of knowledge about gin.....
Need this in the US 🔥👌🏼
Wish it was available outside the UK.
I’ve just had an email to say my bottle of batch 001 will be delivered on Friday! It’s an anniversary present for my gin loving other half. It’s our 10th anniversary - hope he likes it!
It looks like a new element from the periodic table
I wish I could try it, but international shipping of liquor is a bit much so I understand why shipping is limited to the UK
Smashing!!! I shall flood the cowling!
Thank you, Lucy, for convincing James to tame his mane!
001? Don't you mean 0001? You buggered it! Lol. Can't wait to order a bottle & become civilized.
only james could make writing a number interesting but a 7 min task
so excited I was shaking...sure that's not the DTs Jim?
Please upload him signing all 1419 others. We would watch all of it.
