Save Money on Your Gas Bill: Buy Your Gin From Aldi

Gin, that lovely juniper berry flavoured alcoholic beverage that’s a favourite tipple of millions of people around the world was first made in the 11th century AD.

Monks first made it as a medicinal liquor, then over time it became popular in England after the introduction of jenever, a Dutch and Belgian liquor that was originally a medicine.

Although this development had been taking place since the early 17th century, gin became widespread after the 1688 Glorious Revolution led by William of Orange and subsequent import restrictions on French brandy. Gin subsequently emerged as the national alcoholic drink of England.

Gin today is produced in different ways from a wide range of herbal ingredients, giving rise to a number of distinct styles and brands.

After juniper, gin tends to be flavoured with botanical/herbal, spice, floral or fruit flavours or often a combination…..just mmmmmmmmmm.

It’s estimated 516 thousand people consume 10 measures or more of gin during the week, that’s a lot of G&T’s!

There’s hundreds of different brands with the market leaders being Bombay Sapphire, Gordon’s and Tanqueray.

But there’s another, an unsung brand of the Gin world, and it can be found in Aldi.

Welcome to the award winning Greyson's London Dry Gin, formerly known as 'Oliver Cromwell' with award tasting note of: "Gentle aromas, light notes of juniper and some citrus, a nicely balanced traditional style gin" - Bronze, World Gin Awards.

A 70cl bottle costs £10.49 which is one of the cheapest on the market and according to my partner is just as good as the rest.

So get yourself some of Greysons London Dry Gin and save a few bucks for those pesky house bills.
