Spencerfield Spirits Company is based in Spencerfield House, near the Firth of Forth. Set up by ex-marketing director of Glenmorangie Alex Nicol, the company is family based and proud of their heritage. Alex and his wife Jane are dedicated to bringing a range of Scottish bevrages to the market, including inventively named Sheep Dip Whisky, Pig’s Nose Whisky and Edinburgh Gin, amongst other expressions.
There is a lot more to Edinburgh Gin than just juniper and Scottish enthusiasm. The labelling alone is a homage to the long history of Gin with its art deco inspired design. While it holds fast to the traditional ingredients of Gin, it also mixes Scottish botanicals with heather and milk thistle to present a wonderfully herby expression. The juniper is of course present throughout, but is complemented with a whirl of floral and herbs delights.

About the Flavor Spiral
What does Edinburgh Gin taste like?
Back to flavor spiral
The Flavor Spiral™ shows the most common flavors that you'll taste in Edinburgh Gin and gives you a chance to have a taste of it before actually tasting it.
We invented Flavor Spiral™ here at Flaviar to get all your senses involved in tasting drinks and, frankly, because we think that classic tasting notes are boring.

Edinburgh Gin
Dog Dogson's
Smartass corner
Classifications of Gin: London Dry Gin, Plymouth Gin, Old Tom Gin, Genever or Dutch, New Western or new American or International style.
While juniper-heavy Gin is perfect for your daily G&T, it is also complemented extremely well by tea flavours such as Earl Grey. Try steeping Earl Grey tea bags in Gin for an hour before mixing it with lemon juice and soda for a refreshing tipple. This one gets you additional kudos, so let’s keep it between us.
As with many other Spirits, Gin was originally intended to be used as a medicine—to battle malaria.
The Edinburgh Gin Distillery runs a number of tours, including a Gin-making experience, where you can make and bottle a one-off custom Gin, and even design the label!
London Dry Gin is not always from London. Gin does not have the same geographical restrictions as Spirits such as Cognac, Scotch, or Tequila. Only a tiny handful of London Dry Gins are actually made in the city.
As producers try to develop new styles and flavors of Gin, to push the category and find a niche, the need for trying new methods of extracting flavors, as well as using more unusual botanicals, has grown.
One such way is the vacuum distillation method, when the redistillation of botanicals takes place in a vacuum.
