Lind & Lime Gin, named after Edinburgh’s Dr. James Lind who observed that citrus fruits prevented scurvy,  combines flavours of lime and pink peppercorn. I really like the bottle, another one for the twinkly lights when it’s empty!

The distillery has also released a sherry sourced from Bodegas Baron in Cadiz, Andalucía. The Sherry is a style of Oloroso, with zingy citrus notes, dried fruit, and nutty flavours.
