To celebrate the happiest time of the year, this month’s I Love Gin box is themed The Merry Ginmas Box and contains some very special gins for you to try! As always, each gin box contains two premium mini bottles of gin, alongside two premium tonics/mixers so that there’s enough for you to make four delicious G&Ts at home.
Let’s check out the products, shall we?
Tarquin’s Cornish Dry Gin (50ml, 42%)
Tarquin’s Gin is the star of December’s I Love Gin box with two variants to try. Wrapped in wax seals, these are very cool! First up, we have their classic Cornish Dry Gin which is made to traditional methods using a small copper pot that’s still sealed with bread dough and absolutely no computers or machinery to help. This labour of love is what makes Tarquin’s a national treasure from the Cornish coast and it makes a mighty fine traditional dry gin which is a multi-award winner.
Tarquin’s Rhubarb & Raspberry Gin (50ml, 38%)
For those who enjoy trying out flavoured gins, Tarquin’s beautiful pink bottle contains the distillery’s classic Dry Gin (as above), combined with tart Rhubarb and infused with Raspberries to create a very smooth, sweet and still dry, flavoured gin. If you like this one, be sure to check out Tarquin’s other limited edition flavoured creations to add to your drinks cabinet – perfect for festive and special occasions alike.
Poacher’s Wild Premium Irish Tonic Water and Ginger Ale (200ml each)
This month’s mixers are both from Poacher’s, the premium Irish company that leads in the way in the country’s market for high-quality tonics and mixers. Here we have their classic Tonic Water, made using fresh Irish ingredients including pure Irish spring water for a crisp and clean taste, and a bottle of their Ginger Ale which is equally as refreshing and works surprisingly well with the Tarquin’s Rhubarb & Raspberry Gin.
