THE BAUBLES ARE BACK!
The original gin-filled baubles have been picked and packed for 2017 and are now ready for delivery from WineOnline.ie
WineOnline.ie are delighted to announce they are the exclusive Irish distributor of the award-winning Pickering’s Gin Christmas tree baubles, a must for all gin fans across the country - the most wanted Christmas tree decoration is back on sale. After huge demand from customers all around the world last year, Pickering’s Gin has harvested a bumper crop of their award-winning baubles for 2017.
To keep up with the demand for the coveted decoration the Pickering’s Gin team has expanded from nine to fifteen full time staff and hired an additional 19 elves part-time. Working around the clock, the team have been filling the 20K baubles needed a day to fulfill orders.
The Edinburgh distillery made headlines after 30,000 of their gin-filled Christmas baubles sold out in 82 seconds in 2016.
This year Pickering’s Gin - based in the heart of Edinburgh – started production of their Pickering’s Gin Baubles in January to meet demand, but is expected to, once again, sell out fast.
A pre-order of the Christmas baubles this year to its #Ginfriends mailing list saw the distiller sell 10% of their stock in July, highlighting the extraordinary call for an innovative twist to Christmas tree decorating.
Over the past year the team at Pickering’s Gin have been working back-to-back shifts to meet the huge demand from around the world. The baubles have been carefully cultivated and are now ripe and ready for customers in Ireland.
Will Mullin, WineOnline commented: “We are super excited to have access to the limited stocks of these fun filled gin baubles. We could see that they sold out in two minutes in other markets last year, so we got our hands on as much stock as we could for Irish customers. The gin boom continues in Ireland and unusual gins and gin related presents will be the big sellers this Christmas. The baubles fit that mould, and what’s not to love – They are fun filled double shots in every bauble!”
Matthew Gammell, co-founder of Pickering’s Gin commented: “People thought we were mad to set up a distillery in the old animal kennels of the former Edinburgh Vet School in 2013. They thought we were even madder to attempt filling 20 thousand Pickering’s Gin Baubles a day on-site in 2017, but we’ve gone and done it!”
To make sure this one-off product can’t be copied the bauble casing is patented so that their customers are getting something truly unique.
