Tasting Journey
About This Whisky
Edinburgh Gin – Elderflower & Gooseberry (70 cl, 40 % ABV) — flavour, vibe, and how to enjoy it
What it is
-
Edinburgh Gin’s Elderflower & Gooseberry is a flavoured gin based on their classic gin backbone, infused post-distillation with elderflower and gooseberry.
-
Bottled at 40% ABV, 70 cl — same format as their other gins.
Flavor & Aromatics – What to Expect
Nose / Aroma
-
The gin leans strongly on sweet floral elderflower on the nose — light, fresh, aromatic and quite fragrant.
-
Underneath the florals, you may catch subtle green/fruity notes from the gooseberry and a gentle gin base.
Palate / Taste
-
On tasting: a light, floral profile — the elderflower delivers delicate sweetness and floral character, balancing the sharper edge of the gooseberry.
-
The gooseberry adds a tangy / slightly tart / citrus-like brightness, which keeps the sweetness from becoming cloying.
-
The classic gin botanicals provide a base that gives subtle juniper / herbal structure beneath the flavour infusion.
Finish
-
Overall the finish tends to be crisp and refreshing, with a gentle floral sweetness, a touch of fruity tang, and a clean dry note rather than a heavy syrupy aftertaste.
Best Ways to Serve & Enjoy
-
Classic Gin & Tonic — over ice, with tonic water (light tonic recommended) and a twist of lemon (or lime) — a classic, easy way to highlight the floral-fruity character.
-
With Mint / Citrus Garnish — adding a sprig of mint + a slice of lemon or lime can accentuate the fresh, summer-garden vibes.
-
Light & Refreshing Cocktails — because it’s relatively gentle, it works well in lighter, summer-style mixed drinks (e.g. gin-and-soda, gin-lemonade, or simple spritz-style drinks).
Who It’s For
-
People who like floral, light, and refreshing gins rather than heavy, strongly juniper-forward London-dry styles.
-
Those who enjoy fruity / botanical / summer-style gins, especially if you prefer something not overly sweet but balanced with floral sweetness and citrus/tart notes.
-
Great for warm weather, day drinks, casual G&Ts or light cocktails — especially if you appreciate a gentler, more aromatic gin.
