For inspiration, the gin maker said that it turned to its fan club of 30,000 “Ginfriends” to determine if the phrase “Crimbo Limbo” was the most fun and festive name for this curious time of the year. The results are highly regarded as they are independently audited by a panel of experts and judged live in a rigorously assessed blind tasting event. Palace of Holyroodhouse will offer festive events for adults and children through November and December. You can find here the details of the events. Around the Northern Hemisphere, we are once again settling into our jumpers and boots for the colder months. With the festive season looming large (however you celebrate it), it’s time to get your home ready for the occasion – and that includes your gin selection!Whether you want something to add oomph to a mulled punch, a soothing spirit for a hot gin toddy, or a festive swap for your gin and tonic or Negroni go-to, the gin world has plenty of seasonal specialities at the ready. We have sampled a few of this season’s offerings to give you a sense of the variety on the market and, perhaps, introduce you to a new favourite.

This festive gin made in Edinburgh is flavoured with frankinscense and myrrh. It also has "sweet orange notes and lingering spice from cinnamon and nutmeg." The ice rink on the famous George Street will be undercover, allowing visitors to enjoy the fun in any weatherRobert: It's very strong (43%) so you definitely need a good slug of tonic. It smells like Christmas for sure, it's festive and spicy. Tastes pretty good as well. Score: 9/10 The ultimate award, Scottish Gin Distillery of the Year, was presented for a second year in a row to North Uist Distillery. They also collected the award for Best New Product of the Year for their Downpour Coast & Croft Gin. Hidden Curiosities Aromatic London Dry Gin – yuzu / pink grapefruit peel / pink peppercorns and green cardamom pods This is the original Christmas gin, first produced by the distillers at Sacred Spirits in Highgate, London in 2010. The gin is made by macerating a Christmas pudding for three months, before being cold-distilled with juniper. The pudding is based on a family recipe of Sacred founder, Ian Hart. The gin has crisp, classic juniper on the nose with a rich, fruity spiciness. The texture is exceptional, accompanied by light buttery notes, vine fruit, cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar, before an elegant, dry finish. This is a lovely all-rounder, but particularly superb in a Martini made with gin poured straight from the freezer. Beinn an Tuirc Distillers, South Loch Gin and Linlithgow Distillery also won multiple taste medals.
