The Gin Guide Review
WL Distillery's First Edition Gin is fruity, light and contemporary. Opting not to use the classic core botanicals of coriander seeds, orris root and angelica root, it has a light and clean mouthfeel. Each of the botanicals play their part and are identifiable, with blackberry and apple giving autumnal character alongside the piney juniper, while raspberry and pear offering more summery notes and give the potential to exaggerated either side with garnishes and servings. With Tonic Water the juniper and fresh fruity sweetness of the botanicals are elevated further, especially the vibrant raspberry and deeper notes of blackberry. - Paul Jackson, 2021 |

Meet the Maker
"The inspiration for our First Edition Gin comes from spending summers in my grandad’s garden, eating fruit from the bushes and trees as I basked in the sun and bonded with my family. I wanted to incorporate the flavours, including blackberries, pears and apples, from my childhood to produce a handmade, small batch gin." - Founder, Scott Wilson-Laing
