Supermarket chain Aldi has announced the release of its 2022 gin Advent calendar jam-packed with 12 gin bottles to sip on during your Christmas countdown, according to a Goodto.

Haysmith’s Gin is Aldi’s own-label brand, first launched in 2020 with a trio of tropical climate-inspired gins. Aldi’s has sinced raked in an abundance of awards for its gin, even winning multiple categories in the 2022 Scottish Gin Awards.

The gin Advent calendar includes a range of six different flavors, with two of each in the set. These festive expressions are Spiced Plum & Clementine, Hand Steeped Sloe, Rhubarb & Ginger, Blood Orange, Raspberry & Redcurrant, Spiced Plum & Clementine and — you can’t have a gin collection without it — a nice classic London dry.

The set can be yours for £39.99 ($44.89) on Oct. 30th, both in-store and online.

Aldi’s U.S. stores will be offering a “12 Days of Irish Cream Calendar,” a “Sparkling Wine Countdown to the New Year” and a beer Advent calendar. Alas, no gin!

Last year, U.K. Aldi’s gin advent calendar offered 24 bottles, with the only flavor difference being Seville Orange & Persian Lime Gin.

In other Aldi booze news, the brand is releasing a wine Advent calendar with 24 mini bottles to try alongside the gin version.
