Our October 2020 Gin of the Month box is brimming with devilishly delicious autumnal treats that will make this Halloween the tastiest and most gin-tastic of them all!
This month’s Gin of the Month is a Craft Gin Club exclusive that has been inspired by the seaside town where Count Dracula, one of the most dastardly of creatures in our long bestiary of ghosts and ghouls, first came to England in one of our most iconic Gothic horrors.
It’s accompanied by a whole coven of marvellous mixers and delicious snacks that will have you licking your fangs with joy. You definitely won’t need to head out trick or treating this month, all of your treats are here!
Beware, all who enter. There are spoilers ahead!
Our October 2020 Gin of the Month Box
Our October 2020 Gin of the Month:
Whitby Gin The Demeter Edition
A Craft Gin Club Exclusive!
Whitby Gin The Demeter Edition is a gorgeous gin made exclusively for Craft Gin Club members. Rich and heady, it was inspired by Dracula and Whitby, the seaside town in Yorkshire where that captivating villain first landed in England. The Demeter was the name of the ship that brought him here!
This stunning and unique gin is juniper-forward and has lots of bite. Its fragrant nose is full of alluring floral notes from elderflower, heather tips and rosehip. While on the palate, sweet, fruity plum tones and aromatic vanilla flavours are followed by a delectable hit of pepper dulse, which has coastal flavours that fade into a warmly spiced finish. It’s a truly special tipple!
