Pickering's Gin unveils Brussels sprout and figgy pudding flavours as part of festive bauble range

Yes, we know Christmas isn't quite on the horizon just yet. Please don't shout at us for writing about it.

But those at Edinburgh's very own Pickering's Gin have come up with something we simply couldn't not tell you about.

The Summerhall distillery will this year be selling off festive decorations like you've probably never seen before – Christmas baubles filled with Brussels sprout flavoured gin.

In previous years their festive gin baubles have gone down a treat with gin-fans (selling out in 82-seconds when they were first launched in 2016), but this year they'll be doing them in six unique, and brightly coloured, flavours.

There will be festive cranberry, Christmas clementine, spiced pear and cinnamon, plum and ginger along with figgy pudding and, of course, the "world's first" Brussels sprout gin.

Those at the distillery say that drinkers shouldn't let "its distinctive sprouty nose fool you, our Brussels sprout gin finishes with a delightfully herbaceous, fresh green pepper twang".

After announcing the news on social media this week hundreds of people took to Facebook to share their reactions.

So it's fair to say it's certainly got people talking.

A set, which includes six 5cl baubles, can be bought for £25 from the Pickering's website. Click here for more information.
