Croc Rock Gin 70cl
Awarded Silver in The Gin Masters 2021, Croc Rock Gin is a must-try gin crafted by The Isle of Cumbrae Distillers.
Named after the iconic Crocodile Rock in Millport, this small batch gin celebrates one of the much loved features of the island.
This provocative gin, integrating fresh orange and the sweetness of the stem ginger with the rich round flavours of chocolate makes it versatile enough to serve neat, over ice or in a classic G&T, with a splash of refreshingly light Fever Tree and a citrus or ginger garnish.

The Isle of Cumbrae Distillers
The Isle of Cumbrae Distillers was established by five full and part-time “Millportonians” and made history as one of the few all-female distilling teams in Scotland, and the only international women’s team, drawing representation from the UK, Canada and the USA.
They create unique Scottish craft gins distilled with the highest quality botanicals, reflecting the landscape and flora of their island. Having won a number of international awards for their gins, including Gold at The Gin Masters and Bronze at the International Wine and Spirits Competition in their first year of trading, they have certainly put Millport firmly on the gin map in Scotland.
In 2024, after five incredible years, our local heroes - well, heroines - at the Isle of Cumbrae Distillery are passing the baton to a brand new leadership team! Caroline Christie and Struan Fraser from Kilwinning have now taken on full management of the distillery and will work alongside the original Fab Five of Bronwyn, Juli, Lynda, Philippa, and Jenine over the next 2-3 years to ensure a smooth transition.

Tasting Notes
Feature Botanicals: Cacao Nib, Orange and Ginger
NOSE: Fresh aromas of pine-forward juniper and orange, subtle spicy tones that fills out the heavier citrus notes.
PALATE: The first sip brings forward the sweetness of the stem ginger and orange on the tip of the tongue. As you start to sense a warmth of heat from the ginger, you simultaneously taste a note of dark chocolate, perfectly balanced with the depth of the cacao creating a nuanced, rich flavour in the finish, the subtle cacao flavours continuing to linger long after your put down the glass.
