The festive season is made for sharing — stories, laughter, and of course, good food and drink. A well-curated cheese board deserves a drink that complements every flavour, and our Heritage Gins are just the thing. From creamy and mellow to bold and tangy, we’ve put together some simple pairing ideas to elevate your Christmas spread.
Citrus Orange
Bright and zesty, our Citrus Orange Gin pairs beautifully with cheeses that carry a natural citrus or nutty note. Try Savourine, a creamy goat’s cheese with subtle hints of citrus and roasted almonds. Or go for a classic Red Leicester — its nutty, slightly sweet flavour and gentle citrus finish (thanks to its natural annatto colouring) make it a perfect match.
London Dry
A strong cheddar is a timeless partner for our London Dry Gin. The sharp, nutty flavour of the cheese complements the gin’s clean, botanical notes. For something bolder, try Stilton. Its rich, intense character holds its own beautifully alongside the crisp juniper base of a London Dry.
Rhubarb & Apple
This gin’s fruity, orchard notes make it a natural companion for cheeses with a touch of sweetness. An apple-smoked cheddar echoes those flavours perfectly, or for something softer, try a herb-flavoured goat’s cheese — the gentle herbal notes bring out the gin’s aromatic finish.
Summer Fruits
Light, juicy and full of flavour, our Summer Fruits Gin pairs best with soft, creamy cheeses. Brie and Camembert both work wonderfully, their rich, buttery textures balanced by the gin’s vibrant berry notes.
Whether you prefer a crisp citrus twist or something rich and fruity, there’s a perfect pairing waiting for your next cheese board. However you celebrate this season, a glass of East Chase gin and a generous wedge of cheese are a match made for festive moments. Cheers to good company and great flavour!
