Lind & Lime London Dry Gin is distilled in the historic Port of Leith, Edinburgh, honouring the city’s maritime heritage and Dr. James Lind’s pioneering use of citrus against scurvy. Crafted with seven botanicals, including fresh lime peel, juniper, and pink peppercorns, it delivers a crisp, citrus-forward profile with subtle spice and a smooth finish. A modern classic, beautifully balanced and elegantly presented.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Bright lime zest leads the nose, followed by classic juniper and a hint of florals. On the palate, fresh citrus is layered with peppery spice, earthy roots, and a soft liquorice sweetness. The finish is smooth, crisp, and refreshingly long.

Cocktail Pairings
Lind & Lime excels in classic serves. A crisp Gin & Tonic showcases its lime-forward profile, while a Gimlet highlights its citrus depth. Its balance makes it ideal in a Negroni or a refreshing Gin Rickey. For something unique, try the Garden Sour with green tea and cucumber, or the Shorefront Martini with samphire sherry for a coastal twist.
Craftsmanship & Story
Lind & Lime is the first spirit from The Port of Leith Distillery, crafted in small batches at the Tower Street Stillhouse. Named after Dr. James Lind, who pioneered the use of citrus for sailors, it embodies Edinburgh’s spirit of innovation. Produced with just seven botanicals, its simplicity and precision reflect the distillery’s ethos of balance, clarity, and heritage-inspired craft.
