The botanics of gin - with Hamish Martin of the Secret Herb Garden


Listen Later

Gin is this week's theme, and more specifically the botanicals that make each one unique.

Rosalind is joined in the studio by Hamish Martin, co-founder of the Secret Herb Garden. He talks about growing his business from a derelict plot of land on the outskirts of Edinburgh into a specialist seven-acre herb garden and visitor centre. He also discusses The Old Curiosity Gin, which he launched in 2017.

We also get the background to Scotland's gin renaissance from Sean Murphy, Scotsman food and drink editor, and author of the acclaimed 'Gin Galore: A Journey to the Source of Scotland's Gin'.
