Thomas Dakin Gift pack
Thomas Dakin has officially been named the “World’s Best British Gin” making it the number one gift for the ultimate gin-connoisseur.

GINS WITH A DIFFERENCE

Greenall’s Blueberry Gin and Greenall’s Wild Berry Pink Gin
Add some colour to Christmas with Greenall’s pink and blue gins. What sets Greenall’s Blueberry and Greenall’s Wild Berry apart is that unlike many other flavoured gins on the market, they contain zero-sugar; making these flavoured gins a sure-fired win with those who would rather save their sugar intake for the plethora of sweet treats on offer at Christmas.
RRP: Both £14.50
