Perfect for any Peaky Blinders fans this Christmas.
As we saw in the most recent episode, the Shelby Company are expanding their business operations because Tommy is now making Birmingham’s best gin.
Yes, the impossible has happened. Cillian Murphy’s character is now even more appealing to women because he now knows how to make gin. Some people, eh?
This being said, we do support Tommy’s plan to make gin that’s “distilled for the eradication of seemingly incurable sadness.”

Well, while the Shelbys devise their grand plans to exploit Prohibition in the US, fans of Steven Knight’s show are already showing their love for the Peaky Blinders over the festive period with these Christmas jumpers.Â
If you know anyone that could drink Tommy Shelby under the table at The Garrison, we might have the perfect Christmas present for you because you can now buy gin, whiskey, and rum that’s inspired by the gangster epic.
The craft spirits are produced by Black Country-based family business, Sadler’s, who own some of the public houses the Peaky Blinders gang used to frequent.
The spirits are inspired by flavours from the gang’s era of the 1920s when an exciting array of new flavours emerged as new ethnicities settled in the area, bringing with them new ingredients, aromas and distilling methods.
Here’s what you can get.
Peaky Blinder Irish Whiskey
A nod to the Irish community prevalent in the Peaky Blinders period, whiskey was the gang’s favourite spirit and they wouldn’t be disappointed now with this bold yet smooth, triple-distilled liquid. The whiskey is crafted from an exceptional blend of grain and single malt Irish whiskey finished in a sherry cask. This mighty spirit has an aroma of malts and cracked nuts, with a sweet taste and smooth intense flavour. RRP £25 (70cl) available from Amazon and other selected retailers.
Peaky Blinder Spiced Dry Gin
A nod to the 1920s gin cocktail culture, a small batch, handcrafted spiced dry gin, made from a carefully selected collection of nine exotic botanicals. This gin is not for the faint-hearted, the peppery notes of ginger and the grains of paradise make this a bold spicy gin choice.Ideally paired with the famed Indian food found in the Black Country. RRP £25 (70cl) available from Amazon, Sadler’s and other selected retailers.
Peaky Blinder Black Spiced Rum
Small batch, bold and black, another tip of the hat to the rum the Sadler’s family would have offered customers in the 1920s, brought up to date with essences of orange, nutmeg, vanilla and raisin. A bold, warming Caribbean rum blended with spices and aged in ex-Pedro Ximenez casks for a distinctive finish. RRP £25 (70cl) available from Amazon and other selected retailers.
As always, if you’re enjoying a few drinks over the Christmas period, please be responsible.
By order of the Peaky Blinders!
