Certified Scottish Gin
All our packaging can be recycled
Crossbill Scottish Dry Gin is a celebration of juniper and rosehip exclusively. It is made using only these two botanicals, which are hand-foraged from the Scottish Highlands. Crossbill has re-established a long lost tradition of harvesting Scottish juniper. For them, this creates a distinct taste evocative of the ancient pine forests where juniper has grown for centuries.

About Deerness Distillery
A family run craft distillery in the Parish of Deerness, the team led by Stuart and Adelle Brown value friendship, tradition and cherish the community spirit that’s to be found on the island. When they were building the distillery, this community spirit was in abundance as family, friends and neighbours all turned up to lend a helping hand. Everyone involved knew they were helping to create something authentic for the island.
Production
Designed and built by Stuart, a former engineer, along with his wife Adelle and their family and friends, you’ll find a warm welcome at the Deerness Distillery. While the purpose built distillery is quite industrial from the outside, the open plan interior is a beautifully designed and functional space. The Deerness Distillery’s range of gins, alongside other spirits and liqueurs, is distilled in a traditional direct-fired copper pot still. There’s a large space for bottling, waxing and storage and the distillery also houses a small tasting bar area and shop, which features lots of orkney made gifts, plus an impressive selection of tonics. There are plans afoot to expand the distillery, including a new whisky still house, to produce a boutique array of different casked malt whiskies, as well as a new cafe, shop and visitor area.
