Old Curiosity has launched The Secret Garden Gift Box, a new limited-edition set made for Mother’s Day. The Scottish craft distillery’s new offering was created to “perfectly capture the spirit of the day, with its feminine and whimsical packaging, designed to adorn and enhance a gin-lover’s collection,” says the distillery.
The Old Curiosity Secret Garden Gift Box is distilled with botanicals grown in the distillery’s Secret Herb Garden on the outskirts of Edinburgh. The Apothecary Rose Gin offers a familiar Turkish Delight flavour whilst the Pink Elderflower and Jasmine satisfies a sweeter tooth – but sugar free.
The Secret Garden Mother’s Day range not only includes a beautiful gift box, but also a hamper service (contents; 2 x 20cl Gin, 1 x 5cl Gin, 1 x Herbal G&Tea, 1 x Honey, 1 x Garnish and 1 x Hand Sanitiser RRP £45) where you can pick and choose the perfect gift for any Gin-fanatic and tailor it to their preferences.

“This year, parents have been challenged more than ever, especially with home-schooling!” commented Hamish Martin, Director at the Old Curiosity Distillery. “So, we thought it would be time to provide the mothers that care for us all year round with something extra special, created especially to make them smile!”
The botanicals used in both gins are carefully grown at The Secret Herb Garden on the outskirts of Edinburgh. The Secret Garden is an award-winning herb nursery with over 600 naturally grown and tended varieties of herbs and flowers which are picked, dried and distilled by hand to deliver the pure essence of nature.
