Irrepressible gin boffins That Boutique-y Gin Company (www.thatboutiqueygincompany.com) are famous for the breadth and diversity of the gins they sell, constantly coming up with exotic spirits featuring both unlikely ingredients or conventional ones that have been treated in an odd way—such as being blasted into space and back (seriously). To celebrate the wealth of flavours on offer they have produced this, a gin Advent calendar. Yes, it’s an Advent calendar with a door for each day of December up to Christmas Eve, but unlike most Advent calendars, behind each door is not just a picture of something seasonal like a robin or a sprig of holly, but a 30ml bottle of gin.
Want to know what Chocolate Cherry Gin tastes like? Or lemon-myrtle-infused Bush Tucker Gin? Gin made with Neroli blossom, smoked rosemary or the skins of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes? Gin that smells like a dank forest, or an embalmed Egyptian mummy? Or indeed gin with botanicals that have been shot into space? Here is your chance to find out, for all these and more are to be found in the calendar’s 24 exotic pockets.
And we’ve got one of these Advent calendars to give away. To be in with a chance of winning it, just answer this question:
Q: One of the gins is That Boutique-y Gin Company’s Fresh Rain Gin, designed to evoke the earthy smell of rain on soil. What vegetable do they use a distillation of to achieve this aroma?
