Launched October 2010, Beefeater’s limited ‘Winter Edition’ follows its successful ‘Summer Edition’ (May 2010). Like the Summer Edition, this wintery gin is based on the original Beefeater botanical recipe with the addition of Christmassy botanicals such as cinnamon, nutmeg and pine shoots.

Beefeater Winter Edition is packaged in Beefeater’s usual clear square bottle but decorated with union jack inspired graphics and suitably wintery images.
