Lind and Lime Gin Distillery

A guided visit to the Lind and Lime Gin Distillery in Edinburgh, where visitors see gin made within a working production area and finish with a cocktail session and a tasting.

The Lind and Lime Gin Distillery is a working gin distillery in Edinburgh, and this permanent display takes visitors through the production area itself. The visit opens with a welcome gin and tonic, followed by an account of the gin's history and its links with Leith. Guides explain how the spirit is made, and visitors handle the botanicals that give it its signature flavour.

Part of the visit centres on the large still, which guides show in operation. Each visitor can bottle and label a miniature bottle to take home. The visit ends with a cocktail session in which the guide demonstrates how to make a Gimlet, after which visitors make their own and enjoy it.

Afterwards, a port and sherry tasting takes place in the Leith Export Company shop. The visit suits anyone curious about how gin is produced and which botanicals shape its character, and its stages follow one another in a clear order, from the welcome drink to the final tasting.
