Portobello Road Director’s Cut No:4 ‘A Parsnip In A Pear Tree’ Gin
We couldn’t possibly do this gin justice in our own explanation so here is Portobello Road’s intro to this awesome gift idea:
“This charming and uniquely festive gin takes inspiration from the traditional aromas and flavours of Christmas Day; combining the seasonal staple, honey roast parsnip,
with the Christmas tree like qualities of juniper and a generous selection of the traditional gin botanicals.
After the distillation is complete, spiced pear liqueur is added, resulting in a complex yet reassuring flavour profile.”
Basically … this gin would make the most amazing present this Christmas.
£39
That Boutique-y Gin Company Yuletide Gin
We’ve been lucky enough to try some of That Boutique-Y Gin Company’s gins in the past and have fallen head over heels for them (sometimes literally!)
If you’re looking for a gin of quality with a pretty jazzy label to give this Christmastime, we’d definitely recommend this one!
£34.95
Batch Signature Gin
Another gin using frankincense and myrrh, this gin is fantastic and incredibly versatile.
Your giftee could be enjoying this in a classic G&T, but they could also be having the time of their life sipping on a Batch Gin Hot Toddy roasting chestnuts on the open fire etc.
Trust us, this is a great winter tipple.
£37
Sipsmith: Hot Gin & Tonic Set
Speaking of hot gins – this hot G&T set is such a cute gift to give this Christmas!
