What gin did you get for Christmas?

This was a fab thread last year. I've got some Aber Falls Orange Marmalade Gin and planning to buy some others with Christmas money.

I bought a bottle of 3 Pugs Bubblegum Gin for my niece and her husband.

Also bought other family members other booze including glittery toffee vodka, Dead Mans Fingers Coffee Rum and a bottle of Kraken rum too.

Monkey 47, bought for me by my lovely (grown-up) DSs.

I have high hopes for it, but the bottle is disappointingly small! Xmas Grin

None :( I'd love some Tanquery (sp?) or Bombay Sapphire, it's all so expensive though.

FelicityLemon · 25/12/2018 13:58

I got a bottle of 3 pugs signature gin. The tasting notes look interesting so I am hoping it's good.

I gave Tregarthans mini set.

Received a 12 days of Christmas Aldi mini gins. Just had the first, a Whiteley Elderflower.

Also received some gun fudge and botanicals.

To the person who received the sevilla.... Its lovely! I have a half bottle open. Have a slice of orange with it too.

I got a mcqueen colour changing gin... it's blue until you add mixer then it turns pink!

itssquidstella · 25/12/2018 14:05

We got some Opihr oriental spiced, it looks delicious! Also a couple of standard bottles - Gordon's pink and a bottle of Plymouth Gin. And a miniature Exeter gin.

MotherWol · 25/12/2018 14:09

I got a bottle of Dutch genever, which is a lot like gin, only less dry. Not really sure how to serve it, but I’ll start with tonic and ice.

MardAsSnails · 25/12/2018 14:11

I got DH some tanqueray rangpur and some tanqueray Sevilla, plus a random bottle of Tanzanian gin. Plus 4 balloon glasses. Easy pressie!

Dawn umsnet Monkey47 is awesome and the bottle could never be big enough!
For those of you with gin money to spend, can I recommend this little distillery? www.inthewelshwind.co.uk

Blooms strawberry gin. Smells awesome but not tried it yet.

ShockedHorrored · 25/12/2018 14:19

My husband had Cotswold gin in his stocking, he says it’s very nice. 😁

wannabebetter · 25/12/2018 14:21

My gin club sent Amber Falls marmalade so am having Christmas martini - said gin plus Cointreau plus Prosecco!!
To anyone who got Opihr, try with a slice of fresh ginger & ginger ale - amazing!!! Happy Ginmas all xxx

ShockedHorrored · 25/12/2018 14:21

Cotswolds gin

amusedbush · 25/12/2018 14:26

Tanqueray, seville orange flavour 😍 I’ve already had one - no judgement in this house Grin

Dockray · 25/12/2018 14:36

Mulberry gin. Lovely with tonic and may try it in my fizz in a minute.

Nenic · 25/12/2018 14:36

Marylebone gin. Love gin and have a big collection

BubblesBubblesBubbles · 25/12/2018 14:41

Unicorn 🦄 gin which is very appropriate.

Gingerbread
Parma violet

Haven’t visited my parents yet so more to come

CuriousaboutSamphire · 25/12/2018 14:46

Having finished the Tanq 10 and only having an inch of Tarquin's navy strength left we got Sainsbury's gin calendar.

Edinburgh Chris gin is really nice, but not an every day gin, for me. But we did like Chase extra dry. Even better it is made close by... I'll have to see if they have a tour/shop

y0rkier0se · 25/12/2018 14:49

There’s a theme to my presents...
also got numerous bottles of Prosecco & wine Grin

What gin did you get for Christmas?
y0rkier0se · 25/12/2018 14:50

Ooh also got gingerbread gin liquer (think it’s from Aldi) in a gin hamper with gin and rhubarb marshmallows & gin truffles GrinGrin

SimplyPut · 25/12/2018 14:51

Caorunn, Edinburgh rhubarb and Wild island Sacred Tree. I am happy!

imaflutteringkite · 25/12/2018 14:53

Robin of Locksley gin. Yum!

themailfail · 25/12/2018 14:58

Beautiful coasters from a mate. Chocs from another mate. Posh moisturiser from DF & DM and a cheque.

Stupidly lonely as usual. No family here, single, no kids.

SeraphinaDombegh · 25/12/2018 15:00

I got a bottle of Boe bramble gin liqueur. Smells wonderful, can't wait to try it! My in-laws know me well Smile

BarbaraofSevillle · 25/12/2018 15:05

I got some locally made gin cream liqueur which I am very pleased about as I have several bottles of fancy gin, so it's nice to have something a bit different and I wanted to try this one but felt like I couldn't justify another bottle of booze.
