You can now buy Brussels sprout flavour gin

Gin lovers everywhere were chuffed when gin baubles came out a few years ago.

Now there is a new type of festive gin that may split opinion: Brussels sprout flavour.

It is part of a new Christmas gin bauble collection by Pickering's Gin, who say the sprout flavoured gin is a world first.

They explain: "This year, we fulfilled the Christmas destiny of 10,000 lonely and forgotten Perthshire sprouts by distilling them and creating the world’s first Brussels sprout gin.

"We know it sounds bonkers, but the humble sprout delivers a pleasantly sweet, slightly nutty gin, perfect for mixing."

The flavour is said to have a "delightfully herbaceous, fresh green pepper twang.

They advise to try the tipple neat or mix into a savoury style  gin and tonic with the addition of a cucumber slice.

If Brussels sprout flavoured gin isn't for you, there are some other festive flavours on offer.

The other flavours are Christmas Clementine, festive cranberry, spiced pear and cinnamon, figgy pudding and plum and ginger.

The gin is handcrafted at Summerhall Distillery which they say is Edinburgh's first exclusive gin distillery in more than 150 years.

Pickering’s Festively Flavoured Gin Baubles cost £25 for six baubles.
