Lidl launches 13 brand new gins - and we're so excited
Lidl is no stranger to launching an amazing gin - after all its Hortus range is an award-winner and a best-seller. And it's not just a brand new Winter Hortus flavour and a gin pop-up that Lidl has been exciting us with, the budget supermarket has also announced it's releasing 13 brand new gins to its shelves.
Yep, our love for gin doesn't look like it's going to slow down anytime soon, and these flavours have us even more excited.
As part of its first ever in-store British Gin Festival, Lidl customers will be able to get their hands on 13 premium craft gins, from 11 distilleries across the UK.
The British Gin Festival will give shoppers the chance to taste a new range of craft gins, that have never been sold in Lidl stores before. And while some of the brands may look familiar, we can guarantee there are some you've never tried before.
"We have been working closely with some of the finest distilleries across the UK to offer our customers the best premium gins at fantastic value," says Paul McQuade, Head of Spirits Buying at Lidl UK. "We are incredibly proud to be launching the first British Craft Gin Festival, enabling us to push the boundaries of innovation in craft gin."
