Lind & Lime Gin
Lind & Lime · Port of Leith Distillery
Named for Dr. James Lind, who proved citrus could prevent scurvy in the 18th century, this gin lives up to its namesake's clarity of purpose. The botanical balance is precise, with juniper and lime in perfect tension. It's a gin built for the G&T but interesting enough for contemplation.
Nose
Clean juniper and fresh lime zest hit immediately, followed by a soft floral quality and a hint of coriander seed. There's a quiet, almost saline minerality underneath.
Palate
Bright and well-structured. Juniper leads but shares the stage with citrus and a peppery warmth. Angelica provides earthy depth, while a wisp of lavender adds elegance without excess.
Finish
Crisp and clean with lingering juniper and a dry, citrus-peel fade.

Cadenhead's Old Raj Dry Gin
Cadenhead's
Old Raj is a gin of rare character—the saffron infusion turns a classic juniper-forward profile into something genuinely singular, perfect for the waning warmth of November. Its navy strength makes it a commanding presence in cocktails or neat, and its Scottish provenance from one of the oldest independent bottlers in the world lends quiet authority. A gin that feels like the last golden light before winter.
Ford's Gin Officers' Reserve Navy Strength Gin
Ford's Gin
Officers' Reserve is the rare navy strength gin that earns its extra proof through genuine complexity rather than brute force. The brief Oloroso sherry cask rest is a masterclass in restraint—adding just enough richness to elevate the classic Ford's botanical profile without obscuring it. A gin that rewards trust in the process, and in the craft of blending tradition with innovation.
Bareksten Botanical Norwegian Gin
Bareksten
Bareksten is a masterclass in how grain character and botanical architecture can work in tandem to create directional texture—each sip reveals a new layer without losing its compass heading. It's serious enough for contemplative sipping yet structured enough to anchor any cocktail. A quiet Nordic powerhouse that rewards patience and attention.
