The first bottle to come from Edinburgh’s Port of Leith Distillery, Lind & Lime gin is inspired by history. Paying homage to Dr. J Lind, who discovered the effect of citrus fruits on those suffering from scurvy, Lind & Lime gin uses lime for flavour alongside pink peppercorn and juniper to balance out its strong, fresh citrus notes.

An easy-going Finnish gin from Muteman, made with a selection of traditional botanicals from Helsinki.

A super-premium small-batch Tanqueray gin named after the No.10 still in which it is made. A superbly controlled explosion of botanical flavours, with much more citrus character than its Export Strength cousin.

A sister gin to Beefeater, Crown Jewel was originally launched in 1993 and became a favourite by virtue of its potency and intense aromatic palate. It has been relaunched in 2022, made to the same recipe as Beefeater Original, but with the use of grapefruit as a botanical and a higher bottling strength.

An intriguing expression of Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish gin that combines its usual blend of botanicals, including Gunpowder tea, with vibrant, refreshing Californian orange. From the Chinese province of Zejiang, Gunpowder tea is made by slowly drying green tea leaves before tightly rolling them into small, round pellets. Its use in this gin results in a zesty, bold spirit full of oriental spices that are complimented by Californian orange and other botanicals such as Kaffir limes, meadowsweet and star anise.

An enticing, fresh gin from the Hendrick's Cabinet of Curiosities that is inspired by the vibrant, fragrant flowers that drawn brilliant butterflies and buzzing bees to the gardens of the distillery. To create this beguiling gin, the traditional botanicals of Hendrick's are joined by a bouquet of rose petals, hibiscus, lavender and more.

An aromatic, fruity gin inspired by the natural beauty of Scotland's most southerly Munro – Ben Lomond. Made using a blend of 11 handpicked botanicals, including juniper and rowan berries, rose petals, Szechuan pepper, coriander seed and cassia, this gin has an aromatic, dry palate with waves of soft berry sweetness.

This Chinese gin has been aged for three months in French oak barrels that used to hold Pinot Noir from Napa Valley. The nose offers aromas of Szechuan peppers, cinnamon and zesty lime. The character of the oak becomes apparent on the palate with notes of vanilla, cherry, caramel and floral peppers. Enjoy this Shanghai-made gin with honey, or mix it in a highball with ginger ale.

Little Bird London Dry Gin is made in small batches in the metropolis itself. The recipe calls for 10 botanicals, including grapefruit, orange and ginger (represented by the lady on the bottle). This works well both in a martini and as part of a classic G&T.

Tobermory Gin draws inspiration from the plant life found on the Isle of Mull, including juniper, heather, elderflower and tea flowers among its botanicals. Clean aromas of fresh juniper, orange peel and coriander linger on the nose, and the palate offers notes of sweet oranges and lemons, juniper, garden herbs, star anise and delicate flowers.
