Inspired by the Club’s iconic 1994 away jersey, the new gin bottle features the distinctive purple and green stripes worn by legendary Hibees such as Kevin Harper and Keith Wright.
Released by Leith Spirits – part of the Gleann Mòr Spirits portfolio, and sister brand to the Club’s First Team back-of-shirt partner Whisky Row – the gin is based on the traditional Old Tom style, taking a classic base, sweetened with honey from the Edinburgh Honey Company.
The new Hibee gin has been released following the news that the Club has extended its partnership with the Leith-based sprits company until 2025.
Designed to be shared and enjoyed by Hibernian supporters, the bottle is available for pre-order now!
“After seeing the overwhelming response to the Hibernian FC x Whisky Row range last season, I’m really excited to be able to launch a new product for our supporters,” said Sam O’Donnell, Head of Partnerships at Hibernian FC.
“Hibernian FC’s purple and green striped kit is iconic and synonymous with the Club so it’s fantastic to reveal the bottle design which pays tribute to that heritage.
“To be partnering with a Leith-based spirits company on this is something that we’re all hugely proud of at the Club.”
Hibernian supporter and Gleann Mòr Spirits Manager Greg Urquhart added:
“We are proud to be working alongside Hibernian FC again and I am delighted that we’re launching the new Hibees Edition gin in time for the new season.
“After the massive success of our Whisky Row campaign, we thought about what we should do next. Gin is obviously very popular at the moment, so I am hoping we’ll see a similar reaction to that of our whisky.
“Hibs fans are very passionate and our Hibees Edition gin will be a great way for fans to show their support and at the same time enjoy a quality gin, made right here in Leith!”
John Moffat, Edinburgh Portfolio Manager at Gleann Mòr, said:
“We are very excited about the launch of our new gin and think that this is a great opportunity to continue to build our brand through the Hibs fanbase, Leithers and beyond.”
