About Crossbill Gin

Crossbill began its gin production in Aviemore in the Scottish Highlands in 2012, before the distillery moved to Glasgow's famous Barras area in 2017. For newcomers it's a fresh, wild, botanical gin made from hand-harvested Scottish plants; for connoisseurs it's interesting that the distillery is named after the rare crossbill bird, whose British population is thought to number fewer than 2,000, underlining the house's close connection to Scottish nature.

History & Background

Crossbill was founded in 2012 in the town of Aviemore in the Scottish Highlands, where the first batches of gin were distilled with a focus on wild, hand-harvested botanicals from the surrounding nature. In 2017 the distillery moved to Glasgow's well-known Barras district, where production has since grown and won several awards for its handmade quality. The name Crossbill, after the rare Scottish crossbill bird, underlines the distillery's wish to celebrate and protect the Scottish nature its gin springs from.

Production & Style

Wild, hand-harvested botanicals are distilled alongside juniper, with strong emphasis on quality and a direct link to the Scottish nature the bird is named after.
