At 43% ABV, it’s certainly not the strongest London Dry you’ll find in today’s market, but on nosing the gin it’s surprising the intensity of the aromas. That said, I think the real dealbreaker is simply that Gin Mare goes big on a near-identical flavor mission while the EG: Seaside goes home. Juniper and citrus remain the dominant flavours but the floral notes open up a bit with less of a pepperiness and heat, as you’d expect. On the palate, piney juniper gives way to the citrus of the orange peel and coriander, with subtle floral lavender complimenting the piney notes.Originally a limited edition product that was recently made part of the distillery's core range, Edinburgh Seaside Gin is made with traditional gin botanicals, including grains of paradise, coriander, and cardamom, along with foraged Scottish botanicals, such as scurvy grass, ground ivy and bladderwrack. Following their flagship Classic gin, several other products have followed, including a range of liqueurs, seasonal gins and their Cannonball and Seaside Gins. It's a perfectly pleasant gin: no really savoury or salty notes, but not too sweet either, although I found it had a hint of citrus in the after taste. It helps us understand the number of visitors, where the visitors are coming from, and the pages they navigate.

The distillery has a knowledge transfer partnership with nearby Heriot-Watt University, one of the few institutions in the U. These are: juniper, coriander, angelica root, orris root, orange peel, lavender, mulberries, pine buds, lemongrass, cobnuts, lime peel, cassia bark, milk thistle, liquorice root. I gravitated to the "seaside" variation of their product lineup after a wholly pleasant experience with Gin Mare, and frankly I think I was expecting another riff on the same general style: a gin that doesn't lead with citrus or juniper but instead focuses on a core of savory flavors.It’s at this point that vapour infusion is used with the lavender, pine buds and lemongrass hanging above the grain spirit to allow its vapours to pass over. On a quest to find unique Scottish botanicals, master distiller David Wilkinson began to look along the east coast of Scotland for inspiration. Maritime-inspired gins are somewhat in vogue at the moment and Edinburgh Gin were relatively early to the game. In the pursuit of this goal, Edinburgh Gin has incorporated botanicals I certainly wouldn't be able to pick out of a police lineup.
