The co-founder of Lind and Lime Distillery has described his battles with intellectual property disputes since setting up in 2014.
The most recent have come in the last couple of years, with three separate companies selling bottles almost identical to those first designed to encase the Leith-based distiller's signature gin.
Ian Stirling explained to Insider that the business worked with Contagious, a local brand design agency, to develop the bottle - but around a year and a half ago, they sent a link to Australian gin company SoHi, which had adopted a very similar looking bottle.
