Edinburgh Elderflower Gin Liqueur (50cl, 20%)

A gin liqueur from Edinburgh Gin, made by macerating fresh hand-picked elderflowers in Edinburgh Gin Classic for about a month. Sugar and a reduction to 20% ABV turn it into a liqueur, with lemon juice added to the recipe. The elderflower meets citrus peel, mulberry and the resinous juniper character of the underlying London dry gin. It can be served with light sparkling wine or light tonic, with a mint sprig, or neat over ice or with lemonade. On the nose, clear elderflower aromas lead, with hints of pear, peach and grapefruit peel. On the palate it is delicate and silky sweet, with a touch of citrus. The finish shows honeyed summer fruit and citrus peel.
