The top spirits and liqueurs for Christmas

Wondering where to start when it comes to stocking up on Christmas spirits? Create a ‘capsule bar’ and you’ll have fabulous festive cocktails at your fingertips all season. Our Distilled range means you can curate the ultimate Christmas drinks cabinet with top-quality spirits, sourced from the world’s best producers. Stock up on our top five essential Christmas spirits for the season: five-times-distilled charcoal-filtered vodka, eight-year-ages blended whisky, London dry gin made with our exclusive blend of seven botanicals, 5-year aged French brandy and warming Pineapple and Rum Spirit Drink.

Distilled in Scotland, our Kenmore Speyside Whisky comes from the shores of the river Spey. It has notes of butterscotch, toasted almond, vanilla and dried fruits, and is balanced on the palate with a silky mouthfeel. The finish is long, with toasty notes and a hint of marmalade. It’s ideal to serve with your Christmas cheeseboard or mince pies or as a cosy Christmas Eve tipple. It also makes a great gift for whisky lovers. Or shake some up into our warming maple whisky sour.

Our Mince Pie Liqueur is the spirit of Christmas in a glass. It comes in a stunning light-up bottle that will look super-pretty on your festive table and has all the flavours of a mince pie – from buttery pastry to zesty fruit and rich, spiced mincemeat – in drinkable form. Enjoy it neat, served over ice, or pour over ice cream for a decadent, quick-and-easy dessert.

Shake up a bar-quality cocktail at home with zero fuss thanks to our Marksologist pre-batched cocktails. These premium, ready-to-drink cocktails are created to the highest mixologist standards and designed to replicate the experience of drinking in a top cocktail bar, from the comfort of home. Look out for some must-try new festive additions to the range this year. Our The Marksologist Sloe Gin Sour is made with sweet-but-tart sloe gin, zesty lemon and a hint of betters (it also comes in a super-cute mini size that's great for Secret Santa gifting). Or try our new The Marksologist Blood Orange Negroni, with an expertly balanced mix of London dry gin, red vermouth and Italian bitter liqueur with a hint of orange.
