The Cross Keys Gin is a new libation from the Amber Beverage Group that will provide consumers with a botanical spirit that is inspired by the traditions of the Baltic states. The spirit is crafted with the use of linden blossoms, chamomile, juniper and rosemary to create an enveloping scent and flavor that makes it ideal for use in a variety of premium cocktail recipes.
The Cross Keys Gin will be launched in the UK, Italy, Russia, Australia and the Baltic states, and will be packaged in a natural black clay bottle that is reported to enhance the way the product is aged. The new spirit comes as the brand's move to expand its portfolio on an international basis and offer consumers alternatives to existing libations.
