As part of our Core Range of premium gins, our Lavender gin captures the wonderful flavours and aromas found in our Distillery Gardens. All our gins feature botanicals grown within our sustainable garden 7.5-acre plot outside Edinburgh. Every drop of Secret Garden Gin is distilled on-site with nothing artificial added - just nature distilled.
If you’ve sipped a gin cocktail at Flight Club in recent years, there’s a good chance you’ve already tasted our Secret Garden Lavender Gin - especially in its coloured form, which has become a firm favourite on their menu. But whether you know it from there or are discovering it for the first time, one thing’s for certain: this isn’t your typical lavender-flavoured spirit.
[Characteristics]
Forget those overpowering parma violet-style gins or synthetic floral liqueurs. Ours is made using real lavender grown in our Edinburgh Distillery Garden, hand-harvested and distilled in small batches. The result is subtle, elegant, and aromatic—not soapy or cloying, but balanced with fresh herbaceous notes and a clean, floral lift.
Highlighting the incredible flavours found within the Distillery's Garden, we grow and distil lavender flowers and stems and then blend with our base botanicals to create this exceptional gin. Naturally floral, this contemporary gin is designed to showcase the wonders of nature.

[Tasting Notes]
Be enchanted by the captivating aromas of the Lavender Gin. Revealing a floral base with herbaceous notes and a dry finish. Allow yourself to be whisked away to sprawling lavender fields.
[Perfect Serve and Cocktails]
As a perfect serve this is delicious sipped straight but if you're a fan of the G&T, we always recommend using a light tonic with our gins.
Secret Garden Lavender Gin adds a refined twist to classics and is perfect for experimentation at home. Here are a few of our favourites:
1. Lavender Gin Sour (pictured)
Shake 50ml Lavender Gin with 25ml lemon juice, 15ml honey syrup and egg white. Shake hard, strain into a coupe, garnish with dried lavender.
2. Lavender French 75
Top 25ml Lavender Gin with 15ml lemon juice and 10ml sugar syrup in a flute. Top with sparkling wine and a twist of lemon.
3. Garden G&T
Serve 50ml Lavender Gin over ice with elderflower tonic, cucumber ribbons and a sprig of rosemary or mint.
4. Berry & Lavender Collins
Muddle a handful of fresh berries with sugar, add Lavender Gin and lemon juice, top with soda water.
[Clear versus Coloured]
Our flagship 70cl Lavender Gin is clear because it’s all about purity—letting the quality of the distillate shine through with nothing added after distillation. It’s ideal for classic serves and refined cocktails.
Our 20cl and 5cl taster sizes, however, are naturally coloured using petals from our garden, creating a stunning violet hue that shifts to pink when mixed with tonic. This expression is popular for bars and export, where the visual appeal adds a playful, theatrical touch.
Whether you’re new to Secret Garden Lavender Gin or a longtime fan, there’s never been a better time to explore its flavour and versatility. Discover it your way—clear or coloured, neat or mixed—and taste the difference nature makes.
