Product description
Gin Lind & Lime, a creation of Ian Stirling and Paddy Fletchers, debuted in 2018.
In May 2022, the gentlemen opened their own distillery in Leith; the facility uses 100% clean energy sources and is based on 100% organic ingredients. The name of the gin is a nod to James Lind, an Edinburgh doctor who conducted research with patients suffering from scurvy, recommending that they consume citrus fruits. The gin's formula lists seven botanicals - juniper berries, angelica root, coriander seed, orris root, liquorice root, fresh lime peel and pink peppercorns. Six of them undergo a 16-hour maturation in organic spirit, and the lime peels are placed in a special basket and exposed to alcohol vapours during the final, 9-hour distillation. The gin is aged in vats for two weeks before being bottled on site at 44% abv. In 2022, Lind & Lime gin won a double gold medal at the World Spirits Competition in San Francisco.
Lind & Lime is a fresh and expressive gin with aromas of juniper, pine needles, citrus (mainly lime) and a touch of coriander. The taste is a combination of juniper, lime, orange peel, coriander and pepper. We highly recommend trying it with just an ice cube or with Fentimans tonic with the addition of lime or orange zest. It tastes great in Negroni and Last Word cocktails.
