This uniquely balanced citrus and spice-led gin with concentrated lemon notes is inspired by the Iranian love for Persian black lemons, or ‘loomi’ (actually sun-dried limes), which add a unique tangy and earthy flavour to Middle Eastern chutneys and stews. Black lemons play a central part in Persian cooking thanks to their sweet citrus flavour and the lack of bitters that other lemons bring – due to the drying process which is similar to sundried tomatoes – and gives the lemons their curious colour.

The powerful bursts of Persian black lemons are heightened further by the zesty citrus flavours of Timut peppers, making the Black Lemon Edition a carefully crafted and perfectly balanced London Dry gin, elevated through the marriage of citrus and spice.
