Best Bottles Under £30 for Christmas

1. Five Farms Irish Cream Liqueur

Bailey’s is now a Christmas tradition, and there’s lots of fun to be had with a good cream liqueur. If you’re looking for something a little different, Five Farms Irish Cream Liqueur is made with cream from family-owned farms in Cork and has a great old-school look. Once you open this bottle, it won’t last long.

2. Maple Syrup & Toasted Oats & Orange Zest & Vanilla 8 Year Old

Getting a good bottle of whisky for under £30 is not an easy feat, but we know exactly where to look. We’ve delivered an age statement whisky, no less. And it’s from Canada, so you know it’s nice. Maple Syrup & Toasted Oats & Orange Zest & Vanilla is a name that speaks to the bottle’s profile. It’s Canadian corn whisky that’s as sweet, spicy and complex as bourbons twice the price.

3. GINgle All The Way (That Boutique-y Gin Company)

That Boutique-y Gin Company’s GINgle All The Way is the perfect Christmas Gin. The festive snow globe on the label is filled with the gin’s botanicals, including the fabulously festive like cocoa, bitter orange, ginger and cardamom. There are a couple of baubles in there, too, but fear not, they didn’t make it into the gin. For a zesty festive serve, add a splash of grapefruit tonic to this one.

4. Christmas Mulled Cup

This is the bottle you need to make the best Mulled Wine for Christmas. All you have to do is add a measure of this and a scoop of sugar to some red wine. That’s it. Christmas Mulled Cup is basically like a stock cube for your Mulled Wine, one made from VSOP Cognac, fine Port, and a host of tinctures created from delicious seasonal spices, alongside cold-distilled orange, lemon, and ginger. 

5. Project #173 Smoked Chilli Rum

Smoked Chilli Rum. Need I say more? If you’re buying for a spice lover (whether that’s a loved one or yourself), this will hit the spot. It’s just quality rum flavoured with a fiery chipotle chilli maceration and cherry wood smoke. It’s cracking a healthy glug of cola. 

6. Jaffa Cake Gin

Jaffa Cake Gin. Seriously, do I actually need to explain these choices? It’s a gin made with oranges, fresh orange peel, cocoa powder and actual Jaffa Cakes. You know what it tastes like? Jaffa Cakes. What are you waiting for? Makes a mean Negroni.

7. Busnel Fine VS Calvados Pays d’Auge

Everybody likes apples. The flavour of apples is good. These are just facts. Calvados is apples x booze. More facts. If you like alcohol that tastes nice, you will like one that tastes of apples. Another fact. Go drink Calvados. You will not regret it.

8. Edradour Whisky Cream Liqueur

Another option for the cream liqueur lovers, this one for the single malt sceptics who think they’re better than it all. Let go of your fear, friend. Single malt whisky from Edradour distillery is used here, and it isn’t sacrilege. It’s very, very delicious. 

9. Depth Charge Spiced Rum

You know all the big-name brand spiced rums. You’ve been there, done that, got the pirate’s hat. Boring. Depth Charge Spiced Rum is the excitement you need. It’s so big in flavour you’ll think you’re somehow consuming two or three different drinks at once. 

10. Christmas Snow Globe Spiced Orange & Cranberry Gin Liqueur

Inside the snow globe is a liqueur that tastes of orange, cranberry, and winter spices. But who cares, really? The bottle is a snow globe, people. It lights up. There are flakes of edible 23kt gold leaf. It’s CHRRISSTTTMASSSS.
