Originally released as Pickering’s Gin The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo Edition, Pickering's Gin with Scottish Botanicals features four indigenous Scottish botanicals among its selection. This includes Scots pine, bog myrtle, milk thistle and heather! Gorgeously herbaceous and subtle floral, this expression does incredibly well in a G&T.

Description

Believe it or not, this multi-award winning gin only came into being in 2013. Before that, we (Matt and Marcus) had been friends and business partners for years, with backgrounds in engineering, furniture restoration and property renovation. We were working at Summerhall when we spotted the derelict dogs kennels from the small animal hospital that once stood in the middle of the old Royal (Dick) Veterinary School. What to do with it? As fate would have it, Marcus had recently inherited a gin recipe from a friend of his late father. Hmmm… Add to that our mutual penchant for a good gin, and the next step seemed obvious. Never mind that we didn’t, strictly speaking, have a distillery. We rolled up our sleeves and built one. Never mind that we had no background in distilling. We tried, tested and experimented until we were experts. Never mind that everyone told us it couldn’t be done. We got on and did it. And so began the story of the Botanical Engineers.

Tasting notes

An earthy, floral character, juniper and pine balanced by a little anise sweetness

Gin & Tonic Cocktail Recipe

Gin & Tonic. If you can say it, you can make it. Right? Right. But also, not exactly. The two-ingredient cocktail requires your undivided attention. From glassware to garnish to style of gin and spirit proof, everything should be carefully considered when mixing a G&T.
