EDINBURGH Gin has launched a limited-edition Valentine’s gin.
The exclusive small-batch gin contains delicate floral notes and a pink hue from an infusion of rose petals and hibiscus.
It also has added chamomile, lemon balm, lemongrass and Kaffir lime leaves to achieve sweet, floral notes which contrast with crisp, fresh hints of citrus.
Edinburgh Gin’s head distiller, Dave Wilkinson, said: “At Edinburgh Gin, we love to share our passion for making truly distinctive gin.
“By blending botanicals including chamomile, lemon balm, lemongrass with distinctive, romantic floral tones of rose petals and hibiscus, we have created a gin that works perfectly with the indulgent flavours of the season. It makes the ideal Valentine’s gift for those seeking something unique for their loved ones.”
To compliment the gin, the art deco style bottle is adorned with a rose floral design and touches of pink and gold.
Edinburgh Gin says the new drink works well with tonic, soda or rose lemonade.
They have also created a cocktail, the sweet tasting The First Kiss, which combines the gin with the company’s Raspberry Fruit Gin Liqueur and pineapple juice.
Just 3000 bottles of Edinburgh Valentine’s Gin (ABV 43 per cent) are available in 70cl bottle from select specialist retailers and Edinburgh Gin distillery shop and online shop at www.edinburghgin.com for an RRP of £35.00.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
