Gin Advent Calendar

Count down to Christmas with a different gin in your glass every day. The Craft Gin Club Gin Advent Calendar 2025 brings together 25 miniature 5 cl gins from artisan distilleries across the globe – from classic dry styles to festive, fruit-led and spiced creations. Beautifully presented in a premium gift box, it’s a grown‑up advent experience for gin lovers who want discovery, variety and a touch of holiday magic. Curated by Craft Gin Club, one of the UK’s leading gin subscription and discovery platforms, this calendar showcases award‑winning small‑batch producers alongside inventive seasonal one‑offs you won’t find on every shelf. It’s a snapshot of today’s craft gin movement, capturing the spirit’s evolution from traditional London Dry to a world of bold botanicals, regional stories and playful festive interpretations.

Tasting Notes
With 25 different gins behind the doors, each day brings a new tasting journey. You’ll encounter crystal‑clear, juniper-forward dry gins like Song Cai Special Edition Dry Gin and In The Welsh Wind Signature Style, delicate meadow‑scented and coastal expressions such as Astraea Spirits Meadow Gin and Lantic Morva Edition, and richly coloured, seasonally inspired bottlings like Burleighs Mulled Christmas Gin and Tarquin’s Figgy Pudding Gin. Expect a spectrum of appearances, from classic water‑white to subtly tinted rosés and warmly hued spiced gins that look stunning in the glass. On the nose, classic botanicals of juniper, coriander seed and citrus peel are joined by layers of orchard fruit (One Gin Crisp Apple), winter spice (Micil Spiced Orange Gin, Poetic License Fireside Gin), dried fruit and pudding notes (Tarquin’s Figgy Pudding Gin, Batch Christmas Cookie Gin), and bright, zesty citrus (Distillerie de Monaco Gin Aux Agrumes, Elephant Gin Orange Cocoa). The palate runs the full gamut: bone‑dry and elegant (Shivering Mountain Early Harvest Gin, StillGarden Social Gin), floral and herbaceous (Otterbeck Cotton Garden Gin, Forty Spotted Classic Tassie Gin), luxuriously spiced and warming (Fynoderee Manx Dry Cider Elder Shee Edition, Jon & John’s Festive Spirit), and distinctly festive, with nods to mulled wine, open fires and Christmas baking. Most of these gins are distilled to be enjoyed young and fresh; while their quality will hold for a couple of years if unopened and stored cool and dark, they are at their most vibrant when enjoyed in the season they’re released – making this calendar ideal for immediate exploration.

Production
Every bottle in the Craft Gin Club Gin Advent Calendar reflects its own terroir and distillery philosophy, from windswept island outposts like The Orkney Distillery’s Kirkjuvagr Yuletide Special Edition to coastal influences in Salcombe Rosé Sainte Marie and sun‑drenched Mediterranean citrus from Distillerie de Monaco. Many of the featured gins are small‑batch, often produced with locally sourced botanicals – think meadow herbs, orchard fruits, regional spices and wild-foraged plants – with base spirits typically distilled from grain and then redistilled with carefully selected botanicals in traditional copper pot stills or small column stills. While methods vary by producer, you’ll find a common thread of slow distillation, precise temperature control and meticulous blending, sometimes followed by maceration of additional fruits or spices to layer in colour and flavour for the more indulgent festive editions. The result is a curated line‑up that showcases the breadth of modern gin craftsmanship in one neatly boxed collection.

Food & Serving
This calendar is designed for tasting and experimentation, so each miniature invites a different pairing. Classic and dry gins are perfect with a premium tonic, a twist of citrus and a simple garnish that highlights their lead botanicals, while the richer, spiced or dessert‑inspired bottlings shine in a festive G&T, a winter gin and ginger, or in cocktails like Negronis and Christmas Martinis. Try citrus‑forward gins with smoked salmon blinis or seafood canapés, spiced and mulled styles alongside roast nuts, charcuterie or slow‑cooked meats, and the pudding‑like gins with mince pies, Christmas pudding or buttery shortbread. Serve the gins chilled or over plenty of ice; most will sing at around 6–10°C when mixed. For the more complex, richly spiced expressions, a brief rest in the glass (2–3 minutes) before sipping helps the aromatics unfurl, but full decanting is not necessary – simply pour, garnish thoughtfully, and enjoy the daily ritual.

Producer
Craft Gin Club was founded in England with a simple mission: to connect gin enthusiasts with the most exciting craft distillers from Britain and around the world. Best known for its monthly subscription boxes, the club has become a key tastemaker in the modern gin renaissance, championing small-batch producers and limited releases that often sell out quickly. By working closely with distilleries from Orkney to Tasmania and beyond, Craft Gin Club has helped bring regional, story‑driven gins into the spotlight, frequently featuring exclusive editions and collaborations. Their Gin Advent Calendar has become a highlight of the festive season, recognised for its thoughtful curation, breadth of styles and ability to introduce drinkers to new favourites they might never have discovered otherwise.
