Caorunn, small batch gin, from the Scottish Highlands

Caorunn is distilled at Balmenach Distillery which has been a working malt whiskey distillery since 1824 and is one of the oldest distilleries in the Speyside region of the Scottish Highlands. The heritage and expertise of the Celtic people are used to harness Scotland’s natural resources and age-old botanicals. Using their Unique Copper Berry Chamber, made in the 1920s, gin is produced with a slow process to infuse the subtle flavors of the botanicals surrounding the hills of the Balmenach Distillery – Rowan Berry (Caorunn is the Gaelic word for Rowan Berry), Bog Myrtle, Heather, Coul Blush Apple, Dandelion Leaf, Juniper Berries, Coriander Seed, Orange Peel, Lemon Peel, Angelic Root, and Cassia Bark.

This has to be one of the best gins I have ever had. It’s dry and crisp with an aromatic finish. The floral and citrus aroma permeates the air when you open the bottle. I knew at the moment it would make the perfect Gin and Tonic!

Caorunn Picnic Sangria has a beautiful presentation with the fresh apples, grapes, and lemons. But there are some things I would change in this recipe. I would reduce the amount of Caorunn by half. I would also reduce the wine to 1 bottle instead of 2. I think that would make it perfect and fit into my carafe.

Caorunn Gin & Tonic is the perfect combination of Caorunn Gin’s refreshing, crisp flavor with tonic water and fresh apple flavor from the garnish. I was really looking forward to sampling this recipe from the moment I opened the bottle and it completely fulfilled my expectations. This recipe will be part of my collection forever!

Caorunn Apple Twist is refreshing way of mixing apples and gin. The sweetness of the apple juice is heightened by the gin. The apples slices soak up some of the gin leaving behind a bright, refreshing treat after the drink is gone. Another keeper recipe!

Caorunn is now my favorite gin! Try it for yourself today!
