Edinburgh Elderflower Liqueur
Edinburgh Elderflower Liqueur is a 20% ABV (40 proof), 750mL Scottish gin liqueur built from 100% freshly picked elderflowers, handpicked in full bloom and infused into classic Edinburgh Gin, then left to macerate a full four weeks for complete flavor extraction. Distilled in Edinburgh from locally sourced native ingredients, strained through a fine 10-micron filter and finished with a hint of lemon juice — a floral, delicate pour that won World's Best Gin Liqueur at the Gin Masters Awards 2019.

Scotland's Elderflower, Four Weeks in the Making
Edinburgh Gin is distilled using native ingredients from the rural landscapes around Edinburgh, and the elderflower expression is the purest expression of that place: fresh-picked elderflowers in full bloom, steeped for four full weeks in the classic gin before a fine 10-micron straining and a finishing whisper of lemon juice. The result is honeyed and sweet but never heavy — a liqueur that behaves like a gin's floral shadow. Explore the full Edinburgh range and browse our liqueurs collection.
Tasting Notes
Highly aromatic florals on the nose — clean, with hints of pear, peach, and grapefruit zest. The palate is honeyed and sweet but delicate, a hint of lemon keeping the sweetness in balance, closing with a lingering finish of pear, peach, and grapefruit zest.
How to Enjoy
Serve over ice, topped with premium tonic, or poured into Prosecco for a floral spritz. The brand's "Elderzest" mixes it with lemonade and fresh mint — also at home in cocktails where a delicate elderflower note lifts the drink.
