Yep, it's that time of year again folks... and we're delighted. Christmas is coming, and the countdown has well and truly begun. So much so, that there are a number of groovy Advent calendars coming on the scene at the moment. We've seen many gorgeous beauty ones, from Jo Malone to GlossyBox, but we found one today that really tickled us. Say hello to the official GIN Advent calendar for 2019 - a genuine dream come true. Got a friend or family member who loves gin that you want to treat this Christmas? Or fancy some gin yourself? That Boutique-y Gin Company and Drinks by the Dram have the perfect Christmas present for all gin lovers - That Boutique-y Gin Company's 12 Days of Gin! Behind each of the 12 windows on this stylish cuboid sits a different 30ml wax-sealed dram of gin from the Boutique-y bunch's spectacular selection, which should add plenty of juniper-based brilliance to anyone's 12 Days of Christmas festivities. It could also be used for a short but delicious Christmas countdown, or simply sipped with friends on a chilly winter evening! God, we can't wait! So, what flavours are behind each of the 12 doors?
