As the cosy festive season draws near, many of us start searching for the perfect Christmas gifts. This often leads to delightful discoveries, especially when they involve unique spirits. This year, I’m thrilled to share that the Orkney Gin Company has captured the hearts of many taste award judges with our Christmas Old Tom Gin, which has just been awarded Best Festive Gin at the prestigious Scottish Gin Awards.
A Delightful Christmas Spirit
Orkney’s Christmas Old Tom Gin embodies the festive spirit with an exquisite blend of traditional botanicals and seasonal flavours. Picture yourself enjoying a super cosy festive drink that whisks you away to a winter wonderland!
The Old Tom style of gin is a sweeter and fuller-bodied spirit, especially suitable for the festive season. This version is crafted with all-natural seasonal botanicals like cinnamon and nutmeg, complemented by vibrant candied flavours, such as orange, lemon and earthy juniper. Each sip feels like wrapping yourself in a cosy blanket on a chilly winter night.
Award-Winning Recognition
Did you know, it is estimated that there are over 600 Scottish gins? Isn't that amazing?
The recognition from the Scottish Gin Awards is more than just an accolade; it highlights the craftsmanship of Orkney Gin Company. This gold awarded gin stands out in the competitive market, with judges praising its quality and complexity.
It's not the first award Christmas Old Tom has won for its beautiful flavour - with an impressive two-star great taste award under its festive belt too!
A Must-Have for Your Christmas Gatherings
During the festive season, the need for enjoyable beverages is paramount, both for gatherings and gifting! This gin serves as both a comforting choice for a cosy night by the fire and an impressive centrepiece for your festive parties and get-togethers.
You can enjoy it on its own, mix it with tonic water, ginger ale, or our favourite - enjoy with fizz for a festive prosecco fizz, creating a delightful drink that adds sparkle to your event. Alternatively, this gin shines in traditional cocktails too - and is absolutely perfect in so many festive desserts and sweet treats too - the possibilities are endless!
Orkney Gin Company would like to thank the Scottish Gin Awards for their hard work, not only representing Scottish Gin as a brand - and a mighty huge brand at that - but also for their efforts to taste and judge so many entries. We loved attending the awards and collecting our special medal!
