Lemon Verbena Gin

• Contemporary gin produced by The Secret Garden Distillery in Edinburgh, Scotland
• Bottled under “The Herb Garden” marque for the United States
• Featured botanicals include dried lemon verbena leaves, juniper, angelica root, coriander, and winter savory (native to Scotland)
• Botanicals are sourced primarily from the distillery’s gardens and glass house
• Base distillate of neutral grain spirit produced by Kimia UK (certified B Corp) in the United Kingdom
• Distilled on 2 custom-built 100-liter copper pot stills manufactured by Svarog Sistemi in Slovenia; the juniper is distilled directly in the spirit whereas other botanicals are vapor-distilled in a fine-mesh bag hung inside the still; lemon verbena is both vapor distilled and distilled with water to capture volatile oils, and the aromatic water is incorporated post-distillation
• Water for production is drawn from a borehole on site; water is softened with salt, deionized, and filtered for finishing
• A parade of citrus sensations open, dancing between lemon sherbet and a rich floral oiliness verging on bergamot. Hints of herbs (and more lemon!) lead to an ample palate defined by a persistent but modulated note of woody, savory juniper.
• Gold medalist at the 2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition
• Non-chill filtered; 43% ABV

This vibrant dry gin marries intense citrus aromatics with the rosemary-like earthiness of winter savory to create layers of lemon-kissed flavor grounded in piney juniper. A star in a White Negroni and elegant in a Vesper, it’s a focused sipper that’s citrus-forward in a way that speaks clearly to the terroir of Saxon shores.
