Edinburgh Gin is a nod to the days when the city of Edinburgh was a hub of Northern distilling expertise. The distiller’s recommended garnish of orange peel is where I’d go too, enhancing the citrus in the gin.Edinburgh Gin was founded in 2010 and originally distilled at Langley, before production was moved to Scotland’s capital in 2014. Scotland produces around 70% of the UK’s gin and there’s now an array of premium craft gins from all over the country.

Seaside Gin 5cl - Edinburgh Gin

There's sea salt and seaweed here, but the dominant taste is considerably more vague most of the time, with lemon and pepper wisps being more memorable than the cocktail of ocean detritus that presumably goes into the gin stills at Edinburgh. Largely as a result of Edinburgh Gin’s incredible success, Spencerfield Spirit Company was sold to Ian Macleod Distillers in 2016.It’s at this point that vapour infusion is used with the lavender, pine buds and lemongrass hanging above the grain spirit to allow its vapours to pass over. The result of what could be multiple collaborations with the Heriot-Watt University, every Edinburgh Seaside Gin mini bottle is flavour infused with marine plants found along the coastline, which includes bladderwrack, ground ivy, and scurvy grass. The Edinburgh Seaside is a capable gin, but one that fits a little more neatly into the Broker's camp than it does the Gin Mare camp. There is obviously still bold juniper in there but the balance between this and the shoreline botanicals is perfect. It’s during this period that our love of gin began, with a ready supply of spices imported via the dock.

There are two custom bottles proudly on display at From the Gin Shelf HQ from our own ‘Gin Making Tour’. On the palate, piney juniper gives way to the citrus of the orange peel and coriander, with subtle floral lavender complimenting the piney notes.

The data collected including the number visitors, the source where they have come from, and the pages viisted in an anonymous form. With its signature botanicals listed as orange peel, mulberries, pine buds, lavender and lemongrass, the tasting notes aren’t too surprising – but sometimes surprises aren’t always best!
