Product Information

Premium drinks mixer brand, Fever-Tree, is always a hit with gin – all of its tonics are made with quinine sourced from original Cinchona ledgeriana trees (or 'fever trees'), with endless flavours to choose from. Our expert panel worked their way through each item in 21 gift sets, looking for smooth, easy-drinking gins with well-balanced botanicals. Additional items were judged on flavour and quality, while also taking into consideration the overall presentation. The Scottish Gin Awards have revealed gin brands which have successfully achieved medal status in 2023, following the awards dinner in Glasgow this month. The results are highly regarded as they are independently audited by a panel of experts and judged live in a rigorously assessed blind tasting event. It combines 60ml gin, 120ml blood orange syrup, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice, which is shaken up, poured into a Champagne flute or tumbler, charged with Prosecco, and garnished with sliced blood oranges. 12. Hot Toddy

There are lots of places you can find gin advent calendars online because gin advent calendars can feel a little more like a niche calendar. You may not know where to start your search. Each of the 24 wax-sealed 30ml gins has been made by smaller producers – so you can be sure the ingredients have been hand-selected by someone with a true knowledge of and passion for gin. After identifying the most intriguing flavours, Dan and his team went on to develop 60 different recipes. It took a fair bit of drinking and friendly debate amongst the four of them, but eventually, they were able to whittle it down to their top three. All three were beautiful liquids, but with the help of local flavour experts, they chose the winner. It's a fantastic way to taste-test some new gins before going all out and purchasing a full-sized bottle.

Much like a chocolate advent calendar, a gin version will feature a set number of doors for you to open in the run-up to Christmas – each with a treat inside (gin, naturally). First of all, Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without the snowball – an acquired taste maybe, but if mixed well, this drink which uses Advocaat, is a wonderfully refreshing long festive drink. Serve with a glace cherry of course.Beinn an Tuirc Distillers, South Loch Gin and Linlithgow Distillery also won multiple taste medals. Advent calendars have taken off so much in the last few years that they are often more luxurious than the presents you receive on Christmas Day – particularly the recent craze for beauty advent calendars, some of which contain gifts worth hundreds of pounds. There are also some amazing chocolate advent calendars and plenty of other food advent calendars, from cheese to candyfloss, or Christmas hampers if you’re gifting. Almost 200 gins - all distilled in Scotland - were blind tasted this year and medals awarded in 11 categories. The Hot Toddy has been around in some shape or form for centuries. It’s completely soothing, and a drink that can also be customised to feature your favourite base spirit and steeping ingredients. We like to make it using Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon, fresh lemon juice, brown sugar, cloves, and sliced lemon.
