Tasting Notes:

Appearance: Polished mahogany

Nose: Dry sherry aromas fill the nose, backed up by Muscat grapes, brimstone, dried apricots and treacle toffee.

Palate:  The palate bursts with dried fruit, minty herbs, Madeira wine and vanilla that fade to oak spice, dry pepper and apple crumble 

Finish: A curious sweetness is introduced at the end after the acidity and dryish finish has passed.

Lind & Lime Gin is forged from the talent, heritage and industry of Edinburgh and its historic distilling district of Leith. In everything that we produce, our watchword is ‘balance’. 

We create our classic robust London dry gin using 7 botanicals, juniper, coriander, angelica, liquorice, orris, fresh lime peel and aromatic pink peppercorns.

The recipe: three key flavours: 

Juniper

Juniper is the cornerstone of any true gin. It’s what makes gin gin. It evokes forest like imagery - fresh pine, juicy berries and earthy aromas.

Lime

Citrus is our signature top note not fruit pastel, confected lime, but zesty refreshing lime. We spend countless hours peeling our organic limes by hand leaving behind the pith and juice which we then use for cocktails on our tour.

Pink Peppercorns

Lime and juniper alone are not enough to create complexity in a balanced gin. We chose pink peppercorns because they have a little bit of everything, they have orange like citrus, warming spice and bursting with red fruits.
