Old Pilot Gin, the gin soon to be on everyone’s lips….

What happens when two pilots come together? Fly a plane would normally be the correct answer.. But, not these two young pilots who have decided the only way is Gin…What started as a simple friendship between Tomislav Anadolac and Hrvoje Busic and exciting hobby of two young pilots has developed into a mutual endeavor and lifelong devotion. Their big dream has finally come true through a small batch distillery where everything from distillation and ageing to bottling and sealing is done by their own hands.
Two pilots took their passion for flying combined with passion for the finest spirits inspired two pilots to establish Croatian micro-distillery “The Spirit in the Bottle” and create something truly unique. Old Pilot’s Gin, their exquisite London Dry Gin is distilled with selected, all natural Croatian botanicals such as Juniper, Orange, Lavender, Sage, Angelica and Olive Leaves. Each Bottle is carefully handcrafted and matured using the world’s only recipe for gin made in the skies.
