You step off the tram into Leith where salt-tinged air rides the quay and the distillery's clean botanical scent cuts through the urban hum. Inside Lind & Lime, copper stills and stainless steel tanks sit under industrial windows; the first drink— a bright double gin & tonic—arrives and the room narrows to the ritual of smell and sip.

You step off the tram into Leith where salt-tinged air rides the quay and the distillery's clean botanical scent cuts through the urban hum. Inside Lind & Lime, copper stills and stainless steel tanks sit under industrial windows; the first drink— a bright double gin & tonic—arrives and the room narrows to the ritual of smell and sip.
Leith's docks shaped Edinburgh's spirit trade for centuries, bringing spices and citrus that defined local gin recipes. Lind & Lime builds on that maritime legacy: a London Dry philosophy focused on balance, heavy on juniper and precise on citrus. The tour stitches short history and production notes—how botanicals steep, how distillation concentrates flavor—and folds in cultural color from Leith’s shipping past to its modern food-and-drink scene.
The hands-on segment is the draw: you fill and label a 5cl mini bottle on the capsule spinner, then learn to mix a Gimlet and taste it with guidance. Expect clear explanations, a relaxed pace, and accessible spaces; the whole experience runs about 75 minutes. Guides welcome non-drinkers and offer soft drinks; children 7–17 can join with an adult, under-7s are not permitted.
Practical tips: bring ID, book ahead for weekend slots, and plan transit—Leith is 10 minutes by taxi or 20 minutes by tram from central Edinburgh. Arrive with comfortable shoes if you’ll walk the Shore afterward and leave time to browse the shop for bottles to take home.
