We’re excited to introduce our latest gin in the Crossbill Seasonal Range – Summer 2024. This gin is a celebration of the fertile soils and bountiful harvests of Scotland's summer. The strawberries, ripened under the long, sunlit days, bring a luscious sweetness that dances on the palate, while the crisp garden peas and their delicate shoots add a refreshing, herbaceous complexity. Together, they create a harmonious blend that captures the fleeting joys of the season.

In crafting Crossbill Summer 2024, we sought to highlight the hidden beauty of these locally grown ingredients, transforming them into a unique spirit that tells the story of Scotland’s summer fields. The strawberries, bursting with natural sweetness, are the stars of this gin, offering a rich, fruity depth with caramel notes, that are both familiar and surprising. Meanwhile, the garden peas and pea shoots bring an unexpected freshness, their green notes providing a vibrant counterpoint that elevates the overall profile of the gin.

With each sip of Crossbill Summer 2024, you're invited to experience the taste of Scottish summer in a glass – a refreshing tribute to the season's fleeting pleasures and the abundant gifts of nature. This release is a testament to our commitment to local sourcing, sustainability, and the endless possibilities of botanical exploration.

Tasting Notes

Nose: The combination of sweet, creamy strawberry and gentle fresh pea shoots gives an almost salted caramel nose, with elements of strawberry swirl

Palate: The first hit is that reassuringly silky strawberry sweetness, right on the tip of the tongue, which gradually gives way to the fresh savoury taste of the peas

Finish: The fresh, green element of the pea shoots balances out the lingering sweet, berried tones, leaving you with a creamy yet balanced long finish

Serving Suggestions

Summer 2024 is a perfect gin for sipping on long summer evenings, best served with a classic or Mediterranean tonic, and a wee segment of fresh strawberry. The enchanting aroma of strawberries paired with the crisp invigorating taste of pea shoots will make every sip feel like a warm Scottish summer day.
