The Edinburgh Gin Distillery

Edinburgh Christmas Gin

Edinburgh Christmas Gin features some truly unique botanicals. This festive spirit is distilled with Frankincense & Myrrh, which adds a fragrant aroma culmination in a nutmeg finish that evokes a quintessential yuletide warmth. Their distillers recommend sipping their Christmassy creation in a classic G&T to release some of the more complex flavours. It also works well in a Negroni, with the sweet myrrh providing balance to the bitter finish of the Campari.

Cannonball Gin

The navy proof Cannonball Gin is the first ever speciality gin to be made at the Edinburgh Gin Distillery – it is a real blast from the past, and at 57% ABV it resurrects an old-style of gin commissioned by the British Navy. The team at Spencerfield Spirit have of course given it their own distinctive twist with some tasting help from the team at Heads & Tales Gin Emporium. Cannonball by name and by nature, this is one strong tipple and an intensely flavoured treat. Heady with unique botanicals, there's a powerful kick of Szechuan pepper and double-strength juniper to counteract the high alcohol content. Originally required to be 57% ABV so as to not render gunpowder useless, this variety of gin chimes with Edinburgh's iconic cannons and gun-firing tradition. They've combined their Art Deco sentiments with an nod to Edinburgh, and you'll also see a canon magnified by the gin itself – you could say it's a warning of what's held inside... As for how to drink it, what better way to appreciate the full force of 57% ABV gin and punchy botanicals than in the classic Martini?

Edinburgh Rhubarb & Ginger Gin Liqueur

Tangy spring crop rhubarb, macerated with warming oriental ginger and a little fragrant lemon zest. This is then infused into award winning Edinburgh Gin to produce a delicate aromatic rose coloured liqueur.
