York Gin Mediterranean Lemon is a joyous celebration of a quintessential botanical of English gin from the 18th Century until today.
It is 'History in the Tasting' and 'The Taste of Summer' all in one.
We absolutely pack this gin with lemons from the sun-kissed Mediterranean. A select mix of just five other classic botanicals complement the citrus perfectly.
The result is a delightfully light, balanced and zesty gin. Earthy juniper playing a supporting role to the star of the show - the tongue-tingling Mediterranean lemon.
Perfect in a refreshing G&T, and cocktails like the French 75, Tom Collins and White Lady.

Plymouth Gin made their version from the 1960s until the 1980s. The brilliantly named 'Plym-Gin' was full of lemony goodness. But production ended in the 80s.
