Christmas Themed Stocking Filler Spirits 2024
For the loved one who appreciates a fine Christmas tipple, we’ve got some fantastic stocking filler ideas for you. These are our top three premium spirits, with a Christmas twist! Great neat, or in cocktails, these won’t fail to put a smile on a face. Happy Christmas!
Jaffa Cake Gin 42% ABV
For me, a simple box of Jaffa Cakes are a stocking filler essential. And they beat a Chocolate Orange any day!
We’re now taking that to another level with Jaffa Cake Gin, which captures the essence of the beloved British biscuit really well, blending orange, chocolate, and biscuit flavours perfectly.
Nose: The aroma is immediately inviting, with strong notes of orange marmalade and dark chocolate. A subtle hint of biscuit sweetness rounds out the bouquet.
Palate: The palate is smooth and well-balanced, with a sweet and zesty flavour profile. The orange and chocolate notes are prominent, complemented by a delicate biscuit undertone. The finish is long and satisfying, with a long lingering sweetness.
This is fun and very flavourful gin that is perfect for cocktail lovers and biscuit enthusiasts alike. I actually really like it neat too.
This will get the Christmas party started!

Boutique-y Yuletide Gin 46% ABV
This limited-edition Yuletide Gin is a cozy winter hug in a bottle, and captures the Christmas vibe really well. This is a proper winter warmer. Designed especially for Christmas, and with its gold flakes, this is a snow globe and delicious spirit in the same bottle!
Nose: The aroma is inviting and festive, with notes of warming spices like cinnamon and clove, along with a hint of citrus. A subtle sweetness lingers in the background, promising a delightful taste experience.
Palate: The palate is smooth and well-balanced, with a complex interplay of flavours. The initial taste is dominated by warming spices, followed by a burst of citrusy freshness. A subtle sweetness balances the spiciness, creating a harmonious taste profile.
Finish: The finish is long, with lingering notes of spice and citrus.
For me, a perfect choice for the festive season. It’s versatile enough to be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a variety of winter cocktails, especially Gin Fizz.
Great price, would make a very charming gift.
