The Cross Keys Gin Sea Buckthorn is a new product from the Amber Beverage Group that will offer spirit enthusiasts with a high-quality option to try out this year.
The gin is made with a blend of juniper, rosemary, chamomile and linden blossoms along with a sea buckthorn berry aroma that has been layered on top of it. Featuring a 38% ABV, the gin comes packaged in an orange clay bottle.
Global Director of Cross Keys Gin Māris Kalniņš explained the new Cross Keys Gin Sea Buckthorn further saying that, "To stay true to our main priority – helping to unlock the true taste of the Baltic States – we have decided to offer a bouquet of flavors and aromas typical of this region, as well as promote this unique and versatile berry – sea buckthorn. Our blackcurrant gin that we launched only last year was a great hit, so we continue to diversify our assortment of Baltic flavors. Dozens of bartenders around the globe have highly appreciated our unique take on pink gin, and we are confident that this magical golden sea buckthorn berry will bring us great results."
