One of our trio of gin liqueurs, Edinburgh Gin’s Elderflower Liqueur is distilled using the best native ingredients, locally sourced from the rural landscapes which surround Edinburgh. Subtle yet complex, this floral liqueur is made with freshly-picked elderflowers. Elderflowers have a distinctive floral aroma and flavour that marry beautifully with gin botanicals. The summer’s elderflowers are handpicked in full bloom and then infused with our classic Edinburgh Gin. The flowers are then left to macerate for a month for full flavour extraction. Our 20% ABV Elderflower Liqueur brings a light, floral profile. It is a honeyed, flavourful libation that’s an ideal counterpoint to sharper flavours, and makes a refreshing Elderzest cocktail when paired with gin, lemonade and fresh mint. It makes a sweet addition to good quality tonic water or Prosecco, and is equally enjoyable served over ice.
Our Gin starts life in a revered 200 year old Scottish copper pot still, where the finest Scottish grain spirit is distilled in the traditional way, together with the classic gin botanicals, such as juniper, coriander, citrus peel, angelica and orris root. What makes Edinburgh Gin so unique and distinctive, are the carefully selected, notoriously soft Scottish botanicals, which are mixed with heather and milk thistle, and added at the final production stage. The gin is finally bottled in Edinburgh at 43% ABV.
