Best luxury gin gift
Hendrick's Hotel Gin & Tea Set Gift Box
Score: 89/100
This gift is more of an investment piece; alongside the full-size bottle of Hendrick’s iconic cucumber gin, it also contains a branded teapot to mix cocktails in, and six matching cups and saucers to serve them in. The clever box can then be repurposed to create a display case for your tea set.
As delightfully eccentric as the brand itself, we can see this set being passed down from generation to generation, for fancy G&T parties.
Contains | Hendrick’s gin 700ml, teapot, 6 x cups and saucers |

Our testers were impressed with the range of flavours in this Yorkshire-distilled tasting set, which covered an interesting mix of grown-up classic British flavours (English lavender anyone?), alongside more exotic fruity ingredients such as orange and lime leaf.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Masons Tea Edition was our panel's favourite, tasting just like a milky Yorkshire brew — making it the ideal gift for anyone missing this part of the world.

Score: 81/100
If they’re a fan of Hendrick’s, we recommend the slightly more under the radar Ramsbury gin, which has a similar fresh and zingy profile.
With botanicals including locally picked juniper and quince, our testers thought it perfectly encapsulated the terroir. A cooling, refreshing serve that’s presented here with two branded glasses, ready for them to knock up the perfect G&T.
Contains | Ramsbury gin 700ml, 2 x glasses |

Isle of Wight Distillery Mermaid Gift Set
Score: 77/100
This gift set includes three mini versions of the striking cut-glass bottles from The Isle of Wight Distillery.
Made with key coastal botanicals, you can expect a clean, salty note throughout, which creates a surprisingly grown-up flavour. The fruity pink gin was still the panel’s favourite, but the classic dry and salt-infused vodka flavours are also well worth a try.
