The world’s first wild Scottish aromatic cocktail bitters. In a bid to re-connect people with nature and help Scotland reach its Net Zero target Highland Boundary have developed Wild Scottish Bitters, made only from sustainably harvested wild Scottish botanicals. The bitters recipe has been seven years in development with each botanical ingredient being individually prepared using specific maturation conditions.
We work individually with each wild plant to determine the conditions to extract the best flavour, then we combine them to achieve the final recipe that brings an aromatic bitterness essential to cocktails and which enhances the flavours of the other cocktail ingredients.
Bitters are an essential part of many classic cocktails and are usually made with tropical plants and imported from overseas, with the resultant carbon footprint from global shipping. At Highland Boundary we are wild flavour innovators, reviving and modernising ancient traditions and the cultural use of Scotland’s native plants in spirits. Our unique and diverse production methods are rigorously and scientifically developed to extract the maximum flavour from our native flora.
We have lost the cultural connection with most of our native flora in Scotland. At Highland Boundary distillery we work only with wild Scottish plants to research and restore this knowledge and aim to re-connect people back to nature through the unique flavours found in our wild landscapes.
