The Advent of Gin


I am a big gin fan and a bigger Christmas fan. Now I can have two-in-one. (If I can find a benefactor)

Ginvent is the juniper berry version of the Advent calendar. Open up a day and a little bottle of gin selected by the Gin Foundry awaits.

“So what’s inside? Each year, we select 24 Gins that provide a snapshot of the category’s depth, diversity and global reach. We scour countries in search of the very best, the most unusual, the most progressive and – of utmost importance – the most sublimely delicious gins. The content of the Ginvent calendars is carefully curated and painstakingly considered so that all styles of gins are included, from London Dry to Old Tom, to Navy strength, Fruit infused and so on…

We also make an effort to showcase all types of producers, celebrating the artisanal, craft makers while providing a unique chance to compare them in context to some of the familiar, larger names. It’s a chance to really discover the very best the category has to offer and will challenge your preconceptions as it titillates your tastebuds.”

Such a great idea and one that I hope works its way through all the beer/wine and spirits.
