EDINBURGH GIN. In 1777 there were over 400 stills in Edinburgh, but only 8 licensed distilleries were operating, illegal distillation ruled the city. At that time, Gin Rosé from London (pink gin due to the botanicals of the time) was the most "Premium" gin that could be found in Scotland. Scottish Master Distillers, on their frequent trips to London, had realized that in England they used different botanicals to make gin (which gave it a pink color). Among these botanicals they found juniper berries, citrus, coriander... The Scottish Master Distillers combined the highest quality botanicals from London with 3 secret native Scottish botanicals, eliminated the botanicals responsible for the pink color, and created their own gin. Who better than the Scots, pioneers in the art of distilling, to merge all these botanicals, and along with the best Scottish grain create a unique distillate. Edinburgh Gin is a Premium Gin that evokes the times when the Scots began to create gin.
