This is the original Christmas gin, first produced by the distillers at Sacred Spirits in Highgate, London in 2010. The gin is made by macerating a Christmas pudding for three months, before being cold-distilled with juniper. The pudding is based on a family recipe of Sacred founder, Ian Hart. The gin has crisp, classic juniper on the nose with a rich, fruity spiciness. The texture is exceptional, accompanied by light buttery notes, vine fruit, cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar, before an elegant, dry finish. This is a lovely all-rounder, but particularly superb in a Martini made with gin poured straight from the freezer.

Taking its name from an alternative moniker for Christmas pudding, Tarquin’s Figgy Pudding Gin sees its Cornish Dry Gin infused with dried figs, clementine zest, Christmas spices and blow-torched, brandy-soaked cherry wood chips. On the nose, it conjures up the image of a steamed pudding with alcohol-soaked fruits and dark-golden caramel. The palate is syrupy but beautifully light and not too sweet, with notes of dates and figs in syrup, powdered ginger and cinnamon, and buttery cake batter. Tarquin’s suggests enjoying the gin in a Festive Fig-roni, or paired with ginger ale for a longer drink; for optimal enjoyment, find a comfy chair in front of a roaring fire!West Princes Street host to the Festive Family Funfair will include Santa Land, featuring the magical Santa’s Grotto and family-friendly attractions.

Robert: It's very strong (43%) so you definitely need a good slug of tonic. It smells like Christmas for sure, it's festive and spicy. Tastes pretty good as well. Score: 9/10

This festive gin made in Edinburgh is flavoured with frankinscense and myrrh. It also has "sweet orange notes and lingering spice from cinnamon and nutmeg." We’re grateful to our many ‘Ginfriends’ for their input into the development of this product and helping us to finally give a name to this period and we’ll be raising a toast to them during this year’s ‘Crimbo Limbo’.” Beinn an Tuirc Distillers, South Loch Gin and Linlithgow Distillery also won multiple taste medals.
