Instead of panicking about all the shopping still to do, kick back, relax and get into the real spirit of Christmas with Yuletide Gin!
According to the folks at That Boutique-y Gin Company (the brains behind this seasonal stormer) this bottle is packed with gold (just check out the sparkles), frankincense, myrrh, and even an entire gingerbread house along with more traditional winter botanicals: nutmeg, cloves and Christmas tree needles. So deck the halls, jingle those bells and head out into that winter wonderland – this gin is surely the perfect accompaniment. (Plus, shake it up and you've got your own boozy snow globe. Surely a win.)
Nose: Definitely classic in style – a clean nose with prominent juniper and a good splash of citrus. Then the gingerbread arrives, along with a big slab of Christmas cake notes, something pine-like and then Terry’s Chocolate Orange. There’s a rich aromatic spiciness too – nutmeg, cinnamon and cardamom.
Palate: Juniper first, before all the rich spiciness comes in. Loads of ginger and nutmeg, mince pie pastry, raisins and orange peel. There’s some lighter citrus notes tucked in on the end, too.
Finish: Long, rich and sweetly spiced.
Overall: Christmas pudding in a glass – and fabulously festive with the gold sparkles.
