LIND AND LIME

With juniper at its core, Lind & Lime uses fresh lime peel and a hint of pink peppercorns to create a classic benchmark expression that is balanced, dry and intensely refreshing. Lind & Lime Gin is forged from the talent, heritage and industry of Edinburgh and its historic distilling district of Leith. In everything that they produce, their watchword is ‘balance’. The beautiful shape of Lind & Lime's bottle is inspired by the remarkable industrial heritage of Leith. In the 18th and 19th centuries, whisky merchants gradually began to dominate the shore as Leith became Scotland’s national hub for the maturation and export of the country’s national spirit. The key raw materials for making glass were locally abundant: sand and kelp (a large sea-weed) and the first records of glass production in Leith emerge from the mid to late 17th century. It was this remarkable local industrial heritage that inspired Lind & Lime to choose a wine bottle shape for their gin. They’ve also embossed the words ‘Leith Glass Works’ on the base of the bottle, a name that will feature on all the spirit bottles they produce for years to come.
