Schofe’s Winter Gin
Why is this a great Christmas gin? Following the success of the limited edition Schofe’s Christmas Gin, which was launched in 2020, Craft Gin Club’s experts have got back together with our brilliant brand ambassador Phillip Schofield to create a brand new craft gin for Christmas 2021. It’s brimming with delightful winter spice and fruity orange flavours, with a biscuity base that is just so special.

2. Tarquin’s Figgy Pudding Gin
Why is this a great Christmas gin? Tarquin’s Gin, a multi-award-winning Cornwall-based gin distillery, has hit the Christmas nail on the head with this Figgy Pudding-inspired craft gin. Just like that classic Christmas pudding of the same name, which is traditionally flambéed in brandy at the table, it has sweet, dried-fruit notes from dried figs, a touch of clementine and a smokiness that is achieved by using brandy-soaked wood chips that have been scorched. Each sip is a festive treat!

3. Cotswolds The Cloudy Christmas Gin
What makes this a great Christmas gin? This marvellous craft gin from Cotswolds Distillery not only tastes so delightfully festive, with its mix of juniper, lavender, clementine and spice flavours, but it also has a touch of Christmas magic. When you pour this gin over ice or add tonic water to it (we recommend a premium Indian tonic water), it turns cloudy like a misty winter morning. It is utterly gorgeous!

6. One Port Barrel Rested Gin
What makes this such a great Christmas gin? This one is for those who normally treat themselves to a glass of port over the holidays! Rested in barrels that once held port, giving the gin its deep honey hue, this tasty tipple has a beautiful mix of fruit and spice all atop a base of rich earthy nut and biscuit tones. It’s completely unique and utterly divine - especially sipped in front of the fire as the snow falls outside!
