“The birch has always been integral to our business,” said co-founder Tom Chisolm. “So we knew we wanted to create something in honour of this amazing tree but harnessing all of its character was key and therefore needed lots of love and development before we could get to this point.”

Buck & Birch sells several spirits using wild botanicals. Amarosa is rosehip rum liqueur packed in a 50cl bottle, while Aelder Elixir is a wild elderberry liqueur.

Last month, Scottish start-up Birkentree released a birch water designed to be added to Scotch whisky.
