In a world first, Edinburgh based Pickering\u2019s Gin, have created a gin that has been specifically developed to be enjoyed at altitude. The gin is available to drink onboard on all short haul flights and through the High Life shop as part of a trio pack.<\/p>\n
It’s distilled at Edinburgh\u2019s Summerhall Distillery. The unique 10-botanical gin celebrates the very best of British flora and fauna \u2013 juniper, rose petals and heather \u2013 alongside signature Pickering\u2019s botanicals of lime, lemon, cardamom and cinnamon. The resulting spirit is the product of close collaboration, working together to ensure that flavour is at a maximum in the air, but tastes just as good on the ground.<\/p>\n
Central to the flavour profile of the Pickering\u2019s British Airways Centenary Gin is the addition of lemon myrtle. In contrast to other classic acidic citrus fruits, lemon myrtle imparts natural sweetness alongside the bold citrus flavour to the gin. This adds a fresh taste without the bitter edge, balancing with the sweet floral notes of heather and rose. It delivers an enhanced sweetness and depth of flavour that is missing in many commercial gins when consumed at altitude.<\/p>\n

Passengers will also be able to buy the Centenary Gin as part of a limited-edition triple \u2018Gin Flight\u2019 miniature gift pack. Sold on board all long haul and non-EU flights through the High Life Shop.<\/p>\n
British Airways will be releasing a series of \u2018centenary editions\u2019 in partnership with British brands during its milestone year.<\/p>\n
