Wake Walker is hired as UK Publicist, PR and Comms Consultant for Old Pilots Croatian craft-distillery “The Spirit in the Bottle” (Duh u boci) which is based in the Zagreb suburb of Rudeš, Croatia. The name Old Pilot’s alludes to the owners who met while in the Croatian Air Force Academy, became friends and later developed a shared passion for distilling. A passion for flying combined with passion for the finest spirits inspired two pilots to establish the Croatian craft-distillery and create something truly unique. Old Pilot’s Gin, an exquisite London Dry Gin, is distilled with hand-picked, all-natural Croatian botanicals such as juniper, orange, lavender, sage, Angelica and olive Leaves ensuring high quality spirits. It is not high-volume distillery but a small batch distillery and everything from distillation to bottling is done by hand at the distillery. The distillery also produces a 45.4% ABV premium Barrel Aged Gin, which is rested in first fill Croatian and American bourbon oak barrels with special barrel toasting. Each bottle is hand crafted, filled, and stamped with aluminium labels, closed with premium bottle sealing wax and satin tear strip. Old Pilots Gin is 100% natural, gluten free and made in Croatia with handpicked selected botanicals. The distillery also produces a vodka. Old Pilot’s vodka is created exclusively from premium gluten free wheat distillate and purified four times through different specialised filters. To obtain its rich texture, the 40% ABV vodka is paired with separately filtered water. The bottle is hand crafted and sports a pilot’s map stamped on the back. The company plans to become a full portfolio company and will introduce many other products in 2022, including whisky (single malt, triple malt and four grain) introduced in 2023.
