The Aldi Spirits Festival is back - and includes sell-out Scottish gins ideal for summer

The Aldi Spirits Festival is back, with sell-out gins and new releases.

Aldi is launching a range of new tipples and old favourites as part of the biggest ever Spirits Festival, which goes on sale in store and online from 6 August.

After selling out in record time last year, Aldi and Eden Mill’s exclusive Botanical Project Gin Cocktails are back by popular demand.

The summery flavours, which are best enjoyed in the sunshine, include: Blackcurrant and Rhubarb Gin with Ginger Beer, Blueberry and Vanilla Gin with American Cream Soda, and Salted Caramel and Apple Gin with Cola.

Joining the line-up for the first time is Brewdog’s Lone Wolf Cloudy Lemon Gin, which is packed with the sharp and refreshing flavours of Sicilian lemons and Tuscan juniper berries.

Aldi is also launching several new gins, vodkas and rums as part of the supermarket’s biggest Spirits Festival yet, including the new Elements by Haysmith’s range.

Inspired by the constellations, shoppers can pick from a delicious non-alcoholic spirit or premium gin of their choice, depending on their star sign.

The Spirits Festival runs from 6 August while stocks last, and the Lone Wolf and Eden Mill gins are only available in Scottish stores.
