Sipsmith gets festive with Mince Pie gin

London-based Sipsmith Distillery has unveiled a limited edition Mince Pie Gin for the festive season, hailed as “Christmas in a glass” by master distiller Jared Brown.

Mince Pie Gin will launch as part of a limited edition gift set that includes a 90ml bottle of the new offering along with a miniature of Sipsmith London Dry Gin.

On the nose it has been described as “warming cinnamon and nutmeg entwined with sweet clove and Madagascan vanilla.”

While on the palate, it has notes of “spiced raisin and rich dates followed by fresh juniper and Norwegian spruce.”

Mince Pie Gin will be available on Sipsmith’s website from November at an RRP of £20 (including postage).

Following a successful crowdfunding campaign and sell-out trial, Sipsmith announced a new gin subscription service last month along with a new Lemon Drizzle Gin.
