Cannonball Gin ‘Punchy’ is the main adjective Edinburgh Gin use to describe their Cannonball range, and with a 57.2% ABV, it isn’t hard to see what they’re getting at. Head distiller David Wilkinson and his team take a forensic, intellectual approach and Cannonball is no exception, inspired by Edinburgh Castle’s One O’Clock Gun and modelled on the British Navy’s historic style of gin production. Containing Szechuan pepper and double the amount of juniper used in the brand’s flagship Edinburgh Gin, Cannonball lends itself to a gamut of seafaring-themed cocktails. www.edinburghgin.com @Edinburgh_Gin /edinburghgin
