Distillery launches special Valentine's Day gin in heart-shaped bottles - here's how to win a gift set for you and your sweetheart

WL Distillery in South Hetton has unveiled two limited-edition flavours, which come in a gift set of two miniature heart-shaped bottles.

Flavour one contains juniper followed by crisp notes of citrus with subtle hints of cassia Bark and angelica root. Flavour two is again juniper led, but with the sweet taste of red berries including strawberry and raspberry finished off with pomegranate.

The gift set, which is available to pre-order from the WL Distillery website, follows the success of their festive-themed gin gift sets, which were sold in Fenwick over Christmas.

The small-batch distillery was founded by Scott Wilson-Laing last year after sampling European and Mediterranean flavours while volunteering as an archaeologist overseas and deciding he wanted to replicate a regional taste back home.

He said: “We are delighted with the success of the festive range and the continued demand for our 1st Edition Gin. The feedback has been immense, and our customers clearly have an appetite for our new and vibrant seasonally themed gins. We are delighted to use our creative freedom again to develop these exciting new Valentine’s themed flavours.”

Scott added: “It’s been a difficult year for so many and we are genuinely thankful to our loyal customer base and partners who’ve supported us through this journey. The demand for our gin continues to be strong, and we are excited to unveil this new fusion of flavours on to the market.

"The gift sets are an ideal locally-sourced Valentine’s treat to raise a glass with that special someone, may that be together or remotely.”

The limited-edition Valentine’s gift sets, which contain two 40ml bottles, are priced £13.99 and we have two sets to give away to readers.
