Edinburgh Gin - Orange and Basil - 70cl 40%

Edinburgh Gin – Orange & Basil (70 cl, 40 % ABV) 

What it is

• Edinburgh Gin’s Orange & Basil is a flavoured gin blending their classic gin botanicals with Valencian orange peel (fresh + dried) and fresh basil leaf. 

• Bottled at 40% ABV, with a volume of 70cl — a standard full-size gin bottle. 

Flavor & Aromatics

Nose / Aroma

• Expect a bright, citrus-forward aroma: zesty orange peel combined with the classic gin juniper base. 

• Balanced with a fresh herbal note from the basil, giving a slightly green, aromatic, garden-herb vibe. 

Palate / Taste

• The taste is crisp and citrusy — a fresh burst of orange complemented by the gin’s traditional botanicals.

• Behind the citrus, the basil adds subtle herbal depth and aromatic complexity, softening the citrus sweetness and adding balance.

Finish

• The finish tends to be smooth, aromatic and refreshing — citrus gradually fading into herbaceous basil and a clean gin backbone.

• Overall, the profile is light, fresh, and well-balanced — not overly sweet, but vibrant and aromatic. 

Suggested Ways to Serve & Enjoy

• Gin & Tonic: Over ice with a good tonic water — garnish with a slice of orange and perhaps a sprig of basil to highlight the citrus-herb balance.

• Citrus-Herb Cocktails: It works well in light, summery cocktails — e.g. a gin fizz, or any citrus-forward drink where the basil adds an aromatic edge.

• Simple & Refreshing Serve: Even neat (over ice) if you want to appreciate the bright orange and herbal basil notes without dilution.

Who It’s Good For

• Fans of fresh, citrusy, and herbal-style gins, rather than heavy or sweet fruit-forward ones.

• People who like versatile gins — good for G&T, simple cocktails, or herb-infused cocktails.

• Perfect for lighter, spring/summer drinks, garden parties, or occasions when you want something refreshing and aromatic, not heavy or sweet.
