UNLOCKING NATURE
Crafted and distilled with
20 natural botanicals
Our story begins in medieval Riga — a busy and thriving Northern port city ruled by the bishops of Catholic Church
But there is another side to the story, kept secret under the crossed keys of the city’s coat of arms.
For centuries we have mastered the art of crafting, a journey that started with the famous Herbal Bitter Riga Black Balsam — an alchemic masterpiece from 1752.
Our journey goes on — experience unique flavour of nature, Nordic summer blossoms and fresh juniper spirit in our latest masterpiece — handcrafted Cross Keys Gin.
Unlock the essence of nature and Nordic region with a twist of juniper, chamomile, linden blossoms and rosemary and experience the unique and refreshing taste of Cross Keys Gin.
Discover a fresh union of gin’s traditional flavour along with the light summer breeze of Nordic charm – blend of floral patterns inherited from the original recipe of herbal bitter Riga Black Balsam.
Our gin mellows and matures in our signature clay flask, so that you can now enjoy the soft bouquet of its diverse botanicals.
