This evening a new addition to our store, the divi

This evening a new addition to our store, the divine Lind & Lime Gin.Lind & Lime Gin is the very first spirit produced by The Port of Leith Distillery. It’s a gin forged from the talent, heritage and industry of Edinburgh.
This gin is inspired by James Lind, who conducted one of the first clinical trials ever recorded, and played a significant part in the story of the prevention of scurvy. It may seem odd to be talking about scurvy whilst enjoying a Gin & Tonic, but scurvy is caused by a prolonged deficiency of vitamin C, and James recorded that the most sudden and visible effects where shown by sailors eating citrus fruits, in particular limes.
Lind & Lime takes a 96% ABV base spirit, which they then re-distill into a curated mix of 7 botanicals to ensure harmony. There are three botanicals within Lind & Lime that deserve a special mention; zesty fresh lime which is taken from the rind, or skin of the lime. Pink Peppercorns to create balance and add a gentle spice. And of course the might juniper berry! Personally we love a gin with pink peppercorns so this got us excited from the off-set.
On the nose there is clear juniper aroma, with background hints of pink peppercorns. Whilst we know lime plays a leading role, it’s subtle on the nose, but the piney scent is to be relished. This gin means business! On the plate it’s classic, smooth and warming. A wave of fresh lime hits you, quickly followed by juniper before entering a two way tug of war with spice. There’s a beautiful dryness to this that celebrates the earthiness of juniper and indeed gin, accompanied by a lingering citrusy and spice combo. Pair with an Indian Tonic and Lime.
We have to touch base on the bottle as well that is ‘simply beautiful’ and pays homage to the heritage and historic port of Leith. As a gateway to Scotland’s capital, Leith was a trading centre back in the 14th Century. One of the most valuable commodities was wine and this bottle reflects this. It may seem odd for a gin to be housed in a wine bottle, but it’s oddly fitting given the gins rich flavours and history.Grab yourself a bottle of this Scottish beauty....https://thegintomytonic.com/shop/lind-lime-gin/

Imagine the excitement when our good friends at Th

Imagine the excitement when our good friends at The Gower Gin Company told us they were releasing a Dragon Strength gin.....
We have long been fans of the entire range and have huge amounts of respect for Andrew and Siân as people also.
The inspiration for their latest creation came from the fire and smoke of a dragon’s breath along with the majesty of Worm’s head in Rhossili.
The recipe is based on the ‘Rhosili’ gin with the added fire and smoke of dragons from cubeb pepper, grains of paradise and lapsang souchong tea.
At 60% abv their newly released Dragon strength is packed full of flavour. A heady juniper forward spirit that is complex both on the nose and palate. The aromatic spiced notes are just stunning, it’s balanced and very very smooth.
Their signature serve with the Dragon Strength is the classic Negroni. And boy it is good!!
They’ve also released Negroni glasses to go with the Dragon strength, of course we couldn’t resist treating ourselves to those. I mean aren’t they stunning?We are also thrilled that Andrew and Siân will be joining us from their distillery on the 5th September for our Taste of Wales virtual event of which the mighty Dragon Strength will be featured in the festival box.
Get involved and learn how to train a dragon.......https://thegintomytonic.com/shop/a-taste-of-wales-home-festival-box-including-virtual-masterclass-on-5th-september/@thegowergincompany #thegintomytonic

Looking for a refreshingly zesty serve? Then look

Looking for a refreshingly zesty serve? Then look no further than Tanqueray Rangpur paired with Fever-Tree Mexican Lime Soda Water.
Rangpur features juniper, coriander, angelica, liquorice, ginger, bay leaves and Rangpur limes. Randomly Rangpur Limes are not actually limes, but a mandarin orange hybrid. As the name would suggest this botanical heavily features and as a result this gin is very citrus forward. Juniper is subtle here only really making an appearance towards the end, for the most parts citrus dominates, with bay leaves, coriander and angelica adding a green element.
Fever-Tree Mexican Lime soda water also has yuzu juice from Japan. It is crisp, refreshing and zesty, an excellent alternative to tonic water.
This is a match made in Ginny heaven!

This evening we are taking you to the sun soaked Balaeric Isle of Mallorca with the stunning Gin Palma.
Back in 2015 the founder Byron Holland sold their successful award winning bar and restaurant in Edinburgh to embark on a Spanish gin adventure having been inspired by the booming craft gin movement.
Gin Palma is certainly representive of their love affair with this beautiful Isle. Truly representative of the surroundings it is distilled with locally foraged wild flowers and fresh citrus fruit from the rural orchards of Mallorca. The result creates a fresh, dry, citrus infused gin with a delicate and smooth finish.
The unique core flavour comes from the Mallorcan juniper berries capturing the subtle essence of the Mediterranean Sea. Almond flowers, foraged once a year before spring, combined with orange leaves and lavender, create a delicate floral scent and sweetness.
The bottle is stunning and is inspired by traditional Mallorcan tiles. It is also fully recyclable.
Bold and juniper forward with vibrant citrus notes and a gentle spiced finish it is a delight on the palate. A well balanced medley of flavours.
We would love to visit the distillery one day but for now we will just close our eyes and imagine we are in Spain....

Named after the distinct red doors of Benromach Di

Named after the distinct red doors of Benromach Distillery, @reddoorgin is a small batch London Dry that was launched in July 2018.
Red Door Gin is inspired by Scotland’s mountains, forests and coastal fringes and is an award-winning Highland Gin. Owned by Gordon and MacPhail, the company is steeped in rich distilling history having already been a successful whisky distillery before venturing into gin, with a history spanning over 123 years.
Handcrafted in their copper pot still, Peggy, Red Door is a vapour infused and delivers signature notes of juniper, combined with bitter orange, and aromatic sea buckthorn, pearls of heather and rowan berries.
It’s fair to say this is a gin full of pleasant surprises, from the bright red of the bottle, to the botanical make up and taste journey, it’s full of twists and turns that delight the senses.
On the nose its complex with juniper, citrus and herbs all identifiable but it’s the rowan berries that give this almost a scent of chocolate. To taste there’s juniper and sparks of rich and delicious citrus, which contrast with the floral heather, herbs and spice. It’s a full bodied, with a luxurious mouth feel, with the rowan berries continuing to giving this an almost chocolate taste but never quite venturing into confectionary. It’s creamy and rich, with the result being something bright, intriguing and full of Scottish charm thanks to the locally inspired sea buckthorn, peals of heather and rowan berries.
As a serve we paired this with an Indian Tonic and a garnish of raspberries (one of the recommendations). Grapefruit is another option worth considering. It also makes a pretty mean Negroni!

Twisted Nose Gin is giving us the most perfect G &

Twisted Nose Gin is giving us the most perfect G & T vibes in the sun after what has been a very busy Monday at @the_gin_to_my_tonic HQ!
Not only is the bottle a work of art but the gin itself is utterly delicious. No style over substance here.
Twisted Nose Gin comes from the picturesque city of Winchester in Hampshire. Botanicals include juniper, grapefruit zest, cassia bark, fennel seed, orris, angelica, lavender and locally-grown watercress. Watercress may seem like an unusual botanical, but it offers a sweetness and peppery charm that really enriches this gin.
On the nose there are beautiful spice notes and hints of herb. To taste it’s citrus forward with grapefruit coming through loud and clear, with subtle floral notes creating depth. Pepper develops later on giving this gin a subtle bite, whilst to finish citrus lingers.
Twisted Nose is certainly distinctive. Vibrant yet complex and very moreish.
We paired with Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water and a slice of red grapefruit. The grapefruit further enhances those citrus tones. It really is a delicious serve.
A perfect way to sign off Monday.....

A taste of Majorca....
Tonight we are embracing the Mediterranean charms of @ginevamallorca (Majorca) Dry Gin, created by Eva and Stefan, a Catalan oenologist and a German wine grower.
A multi-award winning gin, it’s a London Dry that is distilled and bottled on the island of Majorca. Botanicals include juniper berries from the dunes of Es Trenc, and classic gin-botanicals like coriander and angelica, and locally grown citric fruits and herbs. However, it’s the citrus that really helps set this gin apart, with Eva and Stefan using the entire citrus fruits (skin and pulp of oranges and lemons) to differentiate themselves. They are also small batch with just 70 bottles produced per distillation - a testament to their craft despite the demand they’ve created through awards!
On the nose sweet citrus greets you with underlying juniper and herbs. On the palate there’s juniper but it’s the citrus complexity that really takes hold showcasing sweet and succulent flavours. Whilst to finish the citrus interweaves with subtle herbs and spice to balance the sweetness of the citrus to create a refreshingly dry finish. It’s beautifully done if we do say so ourselves!
We are also delighted to say Gin EVA will be joining us for Virtual Summer Holiday, our next virtual extravaganza, on 15th August 6pm-8pm and giving us a further insight into their Mediterranean DNA. You’ll also find the full bottle available to buy on our store. Pair with a Indian or Mediterranean Tonic and a a garnish of orange or lemon.
Both the virtual masterclass tasting box and full size bottle are available on www.thegintomytonic.com/store
