Crossbill Distilling is an established distiller with experience dating back to 2006. Gin production began in 2012 in Aviemore in the Scottish Highlands. In 2017 we relocated to the legendary Barras in Glasgow’s East End, where we distil our range of award-winning, Handcrafted Scottish Gins.
Our Gins are a celebration of Scottish nature, made with wild, fresh botanicals, harvested by hand then slowly macerated in Glasgow before being distilled. Each bottle is a testament to our passion for creating an exceptional gin and showcasing the beauty of Scotland's natural resources.

Limited Edition
Scottish Crossbill
We named our brand after the Scottish Crossbill (Loxia Scotia), a small bird belonging to the finch family, which nests in pines and conifers alongside our juniper. It has an unusual crossed beak shape that is used to open pine cones and extract the seeds.
The Scottish Crossbill is listed as the only bird species endemic to the British Isles. The population is thought to be less than 2000 birds.
