Cross Keys Gin is born in Riga, Latvia, and draws inspiration from the city’s alchemic and artisanal traditions. It stays true to its roots through the use of natural local ingredients, from Baltic summer flowers to native herbs that express its authentic regional character.
Its complexity comes from a recipe that combines 20 botanicals, prominently featuring juniper, rosemary, chamomile, and linden blossom. Its soul intertwines with the very same natural essences used in the legendary Riga Black Balsam, one of Europe’s oldest herbal liqueurs and a symbol of Latvia, enriched by a secret mosaic of Baltic herbs and spices.
The Cross Keys Gin also stands out for its iconic white terracotta bottle, inspired by Baltic tradition. The design is not just aesthetic: it protects the spirit and enhances its aromatic evolution, echoing the artisanal heritage of Riga Black Balsam. The result is a gin with a bittersweet and well-spiced soul, enriched by mentholated accents, lively floral notes, and a firm juniper backbone that highlights its freshness and complexity.
