The Leith Export Co., a commercial trading arm for Lind & Lime and Port of Leith products, has announced their newest whisky offering, Perpetuity – a blended whisky modelled on the infinity bottle concept.
This release comes in anticipation of the new £13.5m Port of Leith vertical Distillery, slated to open this summer. Along with Perpetuity, The Leith Export Co. also offers signature Lind & Lime London dry gin, La Garde Écossaise champagne, and Port of Leith’s Oloroso sherry and white and tawny port.
Inspired by the story of Henry Douglas, a 15th Century Leith cooper nicknamed the ‘Cursed Cooper’, Leith Export Co. has crafted Perpetuity, a product that celebrates the district’s rich distilling history.

The contemporary wine-inspired bottle contains original artwork, created in-house, that depicts Douglas hard at work on his cursed cask. This is the latest addition to the Leith Export Co. umbrella, joining Lind & Lime gin.
Ian Stirling, Co-Founder of Leith Export Co., said: “The name Perpetuity is inspired by the way we intend to collect and blend whiskies from distilleries across Scotland, bottle at least half of this vat and then replenish with different whiskies, which leaves us with a perpetual vat of intriguing and complex Scotch whisky.
“Batch 1 is made up of casks from Deanston, North British and Glentauchers distilleries, which combine to create a smooth whisky with notes of caramelised apple tart on the nose, toffee and marmalade on the palate before finishing with a sharp lemon drizzle cake with clotted cream.”
The Leith Export Co. has already enjoyed success in the spirits market – recently expanding into North America, with its first shipment of Lind & Lime gin.
Retailing at £38.50, with an ABV of 45.7%, batch 1 of Perpetuity is now available from The Leith Export Co. website, Lind & Lime distillery shop and specialist retailers.
