An age-old tale of exquisite taste
The age-old tradition of barrel aging, renowned for enhancing spirits, remains invaluable to us today. We blend timeless craftsmanship with modern sustainability, and for every barrel used, we plant a new oak tree showcasing our commitment to the environment. The acclaimed Old Pilot’s Barrel Aged Gin is perfected in first-fill Croatian and American oak barrels. Using six botanicals from both the Mediterranean and continental Croatia, our gin matures in carefully selected oak barrels, creating a rich, complex flavour.
Greatness from hand to hand
Every step of our process, from preparation and distillation to maturation, bottling, labeling, and wax sealing, is done by hand. Our gin is gluten-free and vegan, suitable for your lifestyle choices. They say accolades speak volumes: we won gold medals at the 2023 and 2022 World Gin Awards, another one at The Spirits Business 2021, and two silvers at the 2021 and 2020 San Francisco World Spirit Competition. Each of the bottles is unique, with a label featuring tree rings to symbolize maturation and craftsmanship. This isn't just gin; it's a statement for the ages.

The simple wonders of complex flavours
Each barrel is toasted differently, contributing complexity to our gin. American oak brings sweetness, vanilla, and a smoky finish, while Croatian oak adds pleasant bitterness and dry fruit. On the nose, you’ll find sweet juniper, oranges, and ripe apricots. The palate offers subtle juniper, round vanilla, and dry fruit, culminating in a long, spicy finish with a hint of smoke. Old Pilot’s Barrel Aged Gin enhances every cocktail, imparting it with depth and sophistication. Whether in a classic Negroni or a daring new creation, every sip will turn into an unforgettable experience.
