What gin did you get for Christmas?

[cheesenpickles]

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.

Dorothy Parker Gin.
I know have 17 bottles of gin in various opened states. My favourite is from.a small distillery in Wales...Dyfi gin.

Audemus pink peppercorn gin for me.

Hidden Curiosity (Yuzu & cardamom), doesn’t appeal, looks try hard from DH.

Cocoa gin from Hotel Chocolate from DS, luckily just 2 miniatures. Had one yesterday with flat tonic water. Not my thing at all.

Why don’t people notice that I buy classic gin to drink rather than weird flavors? I’ve bought Plymouth, Sipsmith, Jarrolds & Hendricks over the last year. I also have a bottle of Sipsmith’s sloe gin for winter sipping.

Slingsby Rhubarb and Mason Tea gin. Both my favourites. The rhubarb got opened yesterday and I had to share 😫

I love a bit of Masons Lavender Gin in the summer!

Adnams gin is good stuff IMHO so the quince version should be good. I was given a miniature of Whitley’s Quince Gin a few months ago and it was delicious. It smelled a bit ‘meh’ in the bottle, but mixed with tonic, was great. If you like the taste and smell of pear drops, you’ll love it.

Happy drinking!

@OrdinaryGirl it's one of my favourites. Our local gin shop suggested drinking it with fevertree Mediterranean tonic and a slice of red apple. I have been doing so ever since!

Hendricks

@SimplyPut yes it is a gorgeous gin and tonic with that combination.
It's also very nice with pink lady apple slices and a mix of elderflower and Mediterranean tonic!

I don't get this ridiculous wannabe middle class gin obsession at the moment

@OrdinaryGirl Caorunn is lovely, with a slice of crisp apple. 👌🏻

I got a bottle of Opihr which I’ve never tried before! Will report back when I can see again.

With try a glass of gin love....then you will understand.

We’ve got some Bombay Sapphire here but I’ve not opened it,

My sister gave me some pink gin ...again unopened as yet.

Hendricks, pink gin & the coloured bottles from Tesco. Never tried that one but I’d comment how pretty they were and DH remembered :)

@WithAllIntenseAndPurposes this is a lighthearted thread for gin lovers. Most of us were drinking it before it was so fashionable I'd hazard a guess.
And I'm not middle class either thank god

Alnwick gin, not tried it but the bottle is impressive!

Been drinking gin since the late 1980s so not a recent thing for me.

I live in a house rented from the HA. Not middle class.

I just like gin.

I've drank gin for ages 🙄
It's this trend that is aimed at yummy mummy's that makes me 🙄🙄🙄

DMIL has realised via FB that I quite like gin so got me Edinburgh Gin raspberry liquer. I love raspberries but this is not gin and I do not like liquer. Can't even sell it as facebook and Ebay won't let me so it will hang around looking sad next to my overlooked Amaretto.

In the meantime, I 'gifted myself' Bathtub Sloe Gin (yum yum) and lovely Spanish Gin : Mare. That's nearly gone now. It's fabulous.

I also have an undrunk Gordon's Pink Gin. This I do not like.

I am Glaswegian and still call gin Grandmother's Ruin. Not posh. But the artisan pub thing does irritate. Asked for a G and T in a pub on Christmas Eve and got fed up of all the questions. Just give me a gin already!

@BigGreenOlives. Yeah, I'm not big on the flavoured ones either.

Been drinking gin over thirty years though.

I didn’t enjoy gin at all until I had fevertree, Schweppes has too strong a flavour for me. Now I have to figure out who to give the peculiar stuff to.

I got Kirkjuvagar Orkney gin from DH after dropping some heavy hints

I got a box of mini MASONS gin. They're based in North Yorkshire. I've tried their Earl Grey one before and really liked it.

Two bottles of Boe's Peach & Hibiscus gin Liqueur! Love it

The King Soho London Dry from DS, on recommendation from his mates who work in a gin bar. Also a miniature Williams Elegant 48 and a bottle of Harvey Nichols own brand tonic from my work secret Santa.
