Edinburgh Gin Classic is the core London Dry Gin from Edinburgh Gin, a Scottish brand that connects traditional gin distillation with botanicals associated with its local landscape. The gin is built around a broad recipe of fourteen botanicals, balancing classic dry gin structure with citrus, floral and lightly resinous accents. Bottled at 43% alcohol by volume, it has enough weight for cocktail use while remaining bright and accessible in a gin and tonic.

The recipe includes juniper berries, coriander seeds, angelica root, lavender, pine buds, mulberries, cobnuts, orange peel, lemongrass, lime peel, milk thistle, Scottish pine, heather and citrus peels. Juniper, coriander and angelica form the classic backbone. Orange peel, lime peel, lemongrass and citrus peels give the gin a lively opening, while lavender and heather bring a measured floral tone. Pine buds and Scottish pine add a resinous freshness, and mulberries and cobnuts bring a softer, rounder nuance without moving the gin away from a dry style.

On the nose, Edinburgh Gin Classic is fresh and aromatic, with juniper, citrus peel and a gentle floral lift. The palate follows a clear London Dry line, but with more texture than a stripped-back recipe. Citrus gives energy at the front, coriander and angelica create dryness through the centre, and pine notes add a clean, green edge. Lavender and heather soften the aromatic profile, while cobnut and mulberry give a discreet roundness. The finish is dry, fresh and lightly herbal, with citrus and juniper remaining the main markers.

This is a versatile gin for classic serves. In a gin and tonic, a Mediterranean or premium Indian tonic works well, with orange peel, lemon peel or a subtle herbal garnish depending on the desired direction. It is also suitable for a Martini, a Collins or a Negroni when a bright but structured gin is needed. Edinburgh Gin Classic is not built around a single novelty flavour; its interest comes from the way Scottish-inspired botanicals and classic gin foundations meet in a balanced, modern dry gin.
