Lind & Lime Gin
Lind & Lime Gin is a 44% ABV (88 proof) London Dry gin in a 700mL bottle — the first spirit from the Port of Leith Distillery in Edinburgh, Scotland, distilled with just seven botanicals led by juniper, fresh lime peel and pink peppercorns. Crisp, citrus-forward and intensely refreshing, it's named for Dr. James Lind, the Edinburgh physician whose citrus trials saved sailors from scurvy. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Definition of London Dry, Done Simply
The Port of Leith founders set out to make "the very definition of what a London Dry gin should be" — and then do it to perfection. Seven botanicals, nothing wasted: juniper at the core, lime zest for brightness, pink peppercorn for a flicker of spice. It arrived as Edinburgh's distilling revival was gathering steam, and the wine-bottle silhouette nods to the centuries when Leith's docks unloaded the wines and sherries of Europe.

Tasting Notes
Nose: bright lime and oily pine over subtle spice. Palate: solid juniper, citrus zest, peppery notes, floral herbs, soft liquorice sweetness. Finish: brisk, clean, smooth and crisp.
How to Enjoy
A classic G&T over plenty of ice with premium tonic and a wedge of lime; a Gimlet to highlight the citrus depth; or a Negroni, where the lime-forward profile cuts beautifully. The perfect serve is simply tonic and lime.
