LinGin Review & Tasting Notes

About LinGin
LinGin was launched in 2018 as the flagship gin from Linlithgow Distillery. The distillery was established in 2017 by Alyson and Ross Jameson after selling the IT support company they had run for 21 years. The gin is produced in-house in a stainless steel Genio Still and features 12 botanicals - including 8 traditional botanicals, 3 secret botanicals, and meadowsweet which is hand foraged from around the local loch, canals and meadows in Linlithgow.

The Gin Guide says...
Meadowsweet is a botanical that's not often seen outside of the gin industry, but it can bring a subtle sweetness and aromas of hay and vanilla, and it is used to fine effect in LinGin. From the moment you open the bottle it is unmistakably a gin with a core of traditional botanicals, joined by a fresh aroma of juniper and citrus. To taste it is clean, smooth and well-balanced with juniper and citrus, leading to a finish that brings out spice and peppery notes. The 119 locals in Linlithgow who took part in R&D tastings (and took a liking to meadowsweet) certainly have good taste and have helped Alyson and Ross create a greatly enjoyable gin. Garnish: Orange or Rosemary
