Shooting Gifts with a Difference: Meet Twelve Bore Gin

Looking for shooting gifts with a difference? Our bestselling Twelve Bore gin was originally created in recognition of Britain’s hardworking gamekeepers and has become a firm favourite with shooting enthusiasts and countryside lovers alike.

Made on our family farm in Lancashire, it’s a bold, warming orange and ginger dry gin with a story firmly rooted in the British shooting field.

Twelve Bore: A British Countryside Gin Made for the Shooting Field

There’s something rather special about the British shooting season.

Early starts, muddy boots, familiar faces, dogs working their socks off and the promise of a warm fire at the end of the day.

It’s a part of countryside life that has inspired one of our most loved creations, Twelve Bore.

A gin originally made for Britain’s gamekeepers

Twelve Bore began life as a seasonal release, created in recognition of the hardworking gamekeepers who look after our countryside and make shoot days possible.

We never intended it to become a permanent fixture.

But it quickly made a name for itself, and what started as a seasonal release has remained our bestselling gin ever since.

Made here on our family farm in Lancashire, Twelve Bore combines fresh orange zest and ginger root to create a beautifully balanced dry gin with a gentle, warming finish.

It’s since gone on to win Gold at The Gin Masters in the Ultra Premium category.

From the shooting field to the fireside

The British shooting season brings people together, whether they’re standing on a peg, beating through woodland, picking-up with their dogs or helping behind the scenes.

And there’s often just as much enjoyment in the conversations afterwards as there is in the day itself.

Twelve Bore was made with those occasions in mind.

Its rich orange character and warming ginger make it particularly enjoyable during the colder months, whether served as a classic G&T at the end of the day or enjoyed by the fire on a winter evening.

And while its roots are firmly in the shooting field, you certainly don’t have to shoot to enjoy it.

Twelve Bore is for anyone who adores the great British countryside.

A thoughtful gift for shooting enthusiasts and gamekeepers

Finding a gift for someone who spends their weekends in the shooting field isn’t always easy.

Another pair of shooting socks? Another hip flask?

A bottle of Twelve Bore makes a rather lovely alternative.

Whether you’re looking for a Christmas gift for a shooting enthusiast, a thank-you for your gamekeeper or something to share at an end-of-season gathering, it’s a gift with a genuine connection to British country life.

Your shoot. Your label. Our Twelve Bore.
