This is the perfect gift for father’s who enjoy a gin and tonic but are also concerned about the environment. Dads can now enjoy the same great tasting Greenall’s Gin in a choice of glass or paper.
The Frugal Bottle™ is an innovative alternative to glass, that reduces weight, carbon footprint and water usage of their packaging by more than 75%. Made from recycled paperboard and a recyclable inner pouch, the bottle holds exactly the same amount of gin, but feels lighter in the hand and treads lighter on the planet.
Greenall’s London Dry Gin has been made to the same closely guarded recipe since 1761. At a time when gin comes in hundreds of flavours and styles, this is an honest classic gin, great with tonic, a slice of lemon or lime, and plenty of ice. It is reasonably priced and the gin to reach for in the early evening when nothing else will do.
RRP: £17 for a 70cl bottle. ABV: 37.5%. Available from: Sainsbury’s and The Whisky Exchange
Rampur Asava Indian Single Malt Whisky, is a combination of Rampur’s unique distillation and maturation process which sees Rampur Asava Indian Single Malt Whisky taking traditional Indian heritage and rooting it in contemporary culture.
A super luxury premium whisky produced in India’s oldest distillery. The malt matures for two-thirds of its life in handpicked American Bourbon Barrels and a third in European Oak Sherry Casks, and is then non-chill-filtered.
On the nose we detected notes of cherry, vanilla, wine and even Martini.
It has a strong burn factor, beloved by some, disparaged by others, and in the mouth, we tasted salt and liquorice, to be precise, the Dutch version of those tiny liquorice sweets.
RRP: £60.00. ABV: 45%. Available from: Majestic, The Whisky Exchange and Master of Malt
CAFÉ SOLO Original is a premium espresso strength cold brew coffee liqueur. The cold brew coffee brewing process retains the natural flavours and oils from ethically sourced coffee which is mixed with British vodka and natural sugar and boasts a full-bodied flavour profile, rich acidity, and a refreshingly clean finish. It has a robust ABV of 25%, delivering a bold, rich flavour profile with hints of dark fruit acidity, chocolate and vanilla notes, culminating in a subtle sweet finish.
It is delicious over ice, and for me one of the easiest impressive puddings, poured over good quality vanilla ice cream, and of course perfect in an espresso martini instead of Vodka.
RRP: From £30 for a 70cl bottle. ABV: 25%. Available from Amazon
Amaretto Adriatico
I used to associate Amaretto with Christmas, and it remains a firm favourite in the festive season, but I am now converted to enjoying Amaretto at all times of the year. Perfect flavouring for ice cream, in cakes, or savoured as a digestive, at the end of a meal. Amaretto really is an all-rounder.
Made in Puglia from locally grown, hand-picked almonds, this is a superb amaretto with notes of toasted almond, caramel, cherry and a hint of marzipan.
The spirit is combined with sugar, an infusion of cocoa, coffee and cinnamon, plus a pinch of sea salt and is vegan certified and made with all natural ingredients.
RRP: £28.99 for 70 cl. ABV 28%. Available from: Amazon, Master of Malt, The Whisky Exchange, The Drinks Shop and Eataly
