In 1777 there were eight licensed distilleries and almost 400 illegal stills in Edinburgh and the Port of Leith. As gin rose to grow to be the fashionable spirit, Edinburgh distillers, like their London counterparts, produced gin from locally sourced ingredients. Then juniper berries, spices and citrus fruits arrived daily in Leith from all over the place the world. These exotic ‘botanicals’ were redistilled or ‘rectified’ along with the finest Scottish grain spirit in the time honoured fashion.

Edinburgh Gin is a reminder of the days when Edinburgh used to be a centre of distilling expertise.

It is batch distilled in “Jenny”, a much treasured Scottish copper pot still the usage of traditional gin botanicals. Then The Spencerfield Spirit Company add extra Scottish Juniper in addition to heather and milk thistle.

Edinburgh Gin’s clean citrus notes and aromatic Juniper make it the very best base for a Gin and Tonic or Martini, not to mention most of the classic gin cocktails.

The 1920’s are referred to as gin’s in reality Golden era and in keeping with that theme, the bottle packaging has an art deco feel that reflects this wonderful period of cocktail parties and drinking sophistication.
