Edinburgh Orange & Basil Gin
London Dry 40% ABV

Clever Botanical Pairing
Orange and basil might sound unusual but it absolutely works. The herbaceous basil keeps the citrus honest and the London Dry base provides a solid juniper backbone. Really well thought out.

Nice But Lacks Punch
The orange and basil flavours are pleasant but at 40% ABV they feel a bit thin. I'd love to taste this at a higher strength where those botanicals could really express themselves. Good but not great.

Summer in a Bottle
Pour this over ice with good tonic and a sprig of fresh basil and you've got perfection. The orange is bright and genuine, the basil is aromatic and peppery. Edinburgh consistently impress me.

Mediterranean Garden Vibes
The orange and basil combination is inspired — it's like a stroll through an Italian herb garden. Sweet citrus and peppery basil play off each other beautifully. A lovely summer gin at 40%.

A Real Conversation Starter
Served this at a dinner party and everyone wanted to know what it was. The basil note catches people off guard in the best way. Pairs incredibly well with Mediterranean food.

Herbaceous Delight
Edinburgh have really nailed this flavour pairing. The basil adds a savoury depth that stops the orange from being too sweet. It's aromatic, fresh, and genuinely exciting to drink. Brilliant in a G&T with fresh basil.

My Favourite Flavoured Gin
I've tried dozens of flavoured gins and this is the one I keep coming back to. The orange and basil combination is pure genius — aromatic, fresh, complex, and utterly delicious. Edinburgh have created something truly special.
