Since the Grand Tour ended, May, Clarkson and Richard Hammond have remained relatively quiet, save for a few YouTube videos or Clarkson’s hit Amazon Prime show, Clarkson’s Farm.
But now, May – who has his own gin brand – has fired a joking shot at Clarkson in a review of the former’s gin offering.
On TikTok, May sets about reviewing this new gin: “Gin in a tin. Oh! It’s Diddly Squat Farm Shop gin.
“Exclusively distilled in the shire by gin in a tin, bla bla, Diddly Squat. Usual UK chief medical officer’s stuff.
“Well, it is at least a gin. Smells ginny, very promising.”
He sips a shot, he ‘throws up’. Standard.
@james.may.gin Out of professional curiosity, I tasted Clarkson’s gin. I’ve since recovered. Sorry @diddlysquatfarmshop. Full video on YouTube. #jamesgin #jamesmay #jeremyclarkson ♬ original sound – James May Gin
Users in the comments couldn’t tell whether May was play acting (we think that is definitely the case) or not.
One said: “I can’t tell if that was on purpose or if he actually did that as a reaction to it.”
Another commented: “I like even after 25 years of friendship they do everything they can to destroy each others business lol”
Someone else replied: “Adding “CLARKSON!!!” here would’ve been absolutely gold James.”

Now, all three of the former Grand Tour presenters have a gin, as Richard Hammond joins the fun.
Hammond, 55, will launch his new gin brand Ratio soon, joining May and Clarkson, whose James Gin and Hawkstone gin brands were released in 2021.
Hammond said he is well aware that he has got some catching up to do with his former colleagues.
“I’m the last of the party, which is amusing because I’m the more committed gin drinker,” he said.
“All the years we’ve worked together, I was drinking gin way before the current resurgence of it,” he added.
