British Airways Now Serves Gin Designed to Taste Better at Altitude

But this gin is the exception. It was created by Pickering’s, Edinburgh-based gin distillers, to taste just as good on the ground as in the air — its tasting notes shift the higher you fly.

After several recipes and trial tests, Pickering’s engineers have a gin that tastes that combines the following flavors “[…] a bouquet of bold floral juniper and lemon myrtle, with hints of beautifully British heather and rose petal, and warmer undertones of cardamom and cinnamon spice.”

The new gin drink option will be available as part of British Airlines’ centenary year celebrations and offered on all short-haul flights. Passengers can also purchase the gin as part of a mini gift pack available in the High Life shop on all flights long haul and non-EU flights.
