Hi all!! Need some advice on what posh Gin you would most appreciate to receive for a special Christmas gift?
This is for DPs DM....

Also on a side note, does anyone know when Marks and Spencers will start stocking the Sipsmith Lemon drizzle Gin? (Very much looking forward to that one myself) thanks Smile

Hello, this thread is a little old now. Take a look at this handy page for a round up of Mumsnetters' favourite gins.

Tarquins is lovely stuff. So smooth I can drink it neat. Def recommend!

A little addition to your bottle - Just read a brilliant book called Gin, Glorious Gin a paperback from Amazon. It is fascinating, easy to read history of the drink. Gave it to DH to read and he loved it despite not drinking.

Dh got me a bottle of daffy's gin. Was lovely, and looked like a pic of Debbie harry on the bottle.

MagikarpetRide · 18/10/2016 22:20

Oh, dh just reminded me that I liked the caorunn sorry for spelling Scottish gin too.

Have to put a word in for www.warneredwards.com/ particularly the rhubarb one.

Hendrick's is my fave x

We need a MN gin meet. Everyone bring a bottle and try a tiny (who am I kidding) drink of each.
Please MN. Please!

And now I want gin. And it's Tuesday!! Shock

WordGetsAround · 18/10/2016 22:34

Warner Edwards is my favourite. Love Sipsmiths too. Breacon (normal or botanicals) is lovely. Really didn't like Caorunn despite really wanting too!

EsmeCordelia · 18/10/2016 22:35

Dingle gin! Delicious and I am not a Gin fan but everyone I've met who has tried this says it is amazing.

MagikarpetRide · 18/10/2016 22:38

wolfie its Tuesday and I'm drinking gin Wink

Loyly · 18/10/2016 22:38

Opihr! It's an oriental spiced gin that's just wonderful and quite festive.

Silent Pool, suitably aromatic & expensive, but ATM Thomas Dakin Manchester Gin - blows your socks off in a Hogarthian.Gin Lane kind of way ......

Follyfoot · 18/10/2016 22:40

I love Bedrock gin Made in the Lake District and tis a thing of loveliness.

notcoolintheslightest · 18/10/2016 22:47

Harris Gin is lovely. Think it's a bit of a nightmare to get a hold off though!

Oh maybe not!

charliedontsurf · 18/10/2016 22:54

I love Fifty Pounds gin.

I've also got a bottle of Bathtub gin on the go at the moment, it's very drinkable and I like the label artwork.

PrettyPurpleTulips · 18/10/2016 23:16

Wolfie we most definitely need a MN gin club meet up. Wink Grin

Do we have a MN gin club or do we need to ask HQ for one? Gin is not just for Christmas.
I have to say I'm absolutely loving this list so far and it's given me such a range to choose from.

My absolute favourite is Hendricks, but Cotswold gin is lovely too.

GplanAddict · 20/10/2016 19:26

Another vote for Cotswold gon (black bottle) but my absolute favourite is Pink Pepper. Could gift it with pink peppercorns to serve. So lush :)

gininteacupsandleavesonthelawn · 20/10/2016 19:31

Isle of Harris, beautiful bottle too

ClosedAuraOpenMind · 20/10/2016 19:56

friendshipfloss · 20/10/2016 20:07
