Of course, being gin lovers you may have seen them already. If you have, apologies for bringing nothing new to the table...although they may serve as a reminder to hit purchase on that cart that's sitting in your browser waiting to go. And if you do have any others to share with the gang, please send them through so I can add them.

The Pinot soaked Vintage on the Ninch Gin is a collaboration between That Spirited Lot and Chirping Bird Wines. 'Created during the Pandemic of 2020, this original spirit blends our beloved Ninch Dry Gin with crushed Pinot Noir juice from Chirping Bird’s 2020 vintage and is then further enhanced by maceration on grape skins and aged in an Pinot Noir French Oak barrel. With only a limited number of bottles produced from a single vintage, this unique pot distilled Gin features our signature notes of juniper & pink grapefruit combined with a sweet & soft Pinot Noir.'
Macadamia Gin by Applewood Distillery has paired macadamia, an iconic Australian ingredient, with vanilla, wattleseed and cardamom for a uniquely nutty and savoury style of dry gin.
