Caorunn Gin (1x70cl)

Caorunn Gin originates from the Speyside region of the Scottish Highlands, a provenance that deeply influences its distinctive character. This artisanal spirit is meticulously crafted using a unique selection of eleven botanicals, prominently featuring five indigenous Celtic elements: rowan berry, Coul Blush apple, heather, dandelion, and bog myrtle. These are thoughtfully complemented by six traditional gin botanicals, including juniper, coriander seed, and citrus peels.

The distillation process employs a rare copper berry chamber, a method that allows for a slow, gentle extraction of aromatic compounds. This precise technique ensures the capture of the botanicals' delicate essences, resulting in a gin of exceptional purity and aromatic complexity. The commitment to traditional methods and local sourcing underpins Caorunn's expression of its Highland terroir.

Tasting notes

The nose offers an intricate aromatic profile, commencing with bright notes of green apple and a subtle floral whisper of heather, elegantly framed by a classic juniper foundation. On the palate, the gin presents a remarkably smooth and clean entry, revealing a vibrant citrus zest intertwined with the distinctive herbaceous qualities of bog myrtle and dandelion. A delicate tartness from the rowan berry provides balance, contributing to a sophisticated mid-palate.

The finish is notably long and dry, culminating in a refreshing crispness that lingers with a nuanced spice and a clean, mineral-driven clarity, reflecting its Highland origins.
