Caorunn Gin

What it is

Caorunn Gin is a Scottish gin that stands out for its unique blend of five traditional botanicals and six locally sourced Scottish botanicals. This gin is crafted in small batches at the Balvenie Distillery in Speyside, Scotland, using a unique process that involves a copper berry chamber. The result is a spirit that is not only refreshing but also complex, making it a favorite among mixologists. Its distinct flavor profile allows it to shine in cocktails, providing a unique twist on classic gin drinks.

Herbaceous, floral, and slightly spicy

How it is made

Caorunn Gin is made from a base of grain spirit, which is distilled with a selection of botanicals including juniper, coriander, and apple, along with the unique Scottish botanicals such as rowan berries and heather. The distillation process is done in a traditional copper pot still, which helps to enhance the flavors of the botanicals.

History

Caorunn Gin was launched in 2009 and is inspired by the ancient traditions of gin-making in Scotland. The name 'Caorunn' is derived from the Gaelic word for rowan tree, which is one of the key botanicals used in its production. The gin has quickly gained recognition for its quality and unique flavor, becoming a staple in many cocktail bars.

In cocktails

Bartenders often use Caorunn Gin in cocktails that highlight its herbal and floral notes. It works well in classic gin cocktails like the Gin and Tonic or Martini, but can also be used in more adventurous drinks that incorporate fresh fruits and herbs. When serving, it is recommended to pair it with tonic water that complements its flavor profile, such as elderflower tonic.

Worth knowing

Caorunn Gin is one of the first gins to use a unique 'berry chamber' distillation method, allowing for a more intense extraction of flavors from the botanicals.
