Eddie Izzard Collaborates with Edinburgh Gin for Limited-Edition Blend, Profits to Support Artists
Edinburgh Gin is partnering with comedian Eddie Izzard to produce a unique botanical blend and special edition gin bottle.
Ian Macleod, the owner of the gin brand, is set to launch this limited-edition gin, a collaboration with Izzard, the multi-talented comedian, actor, and writer. Every cent of the profit will be given to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society in support of artists.
The company has expressed that Izzard was an intuitive choice as a partner for Edinburgh Gin. Together, they have meticulously crafted a unique recipe and bottle design. Izzard is hopeful that the funds generated will enable others to express their self-confidence on stage at the prominent Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
The gin incorporates traditional Edinburgh Gin ingredients such as juniper, coriander seed, angelica, liquorice, and orris, along with additional botanicals. The first letters of these extras form the word “Believe,” including Bladderwrack Seaweed, Elderflower, Lemon myrtle, Inca berries, Echinacea, Verbena, and Elderberries.
Izzard, who has identified with the pronouns she/her in recent years, revealed in a June social media post that she prefers to be referred to as “Suzy.” According to Sky News, this is a name she has desired since she was ten years old.
