Caorunn Blood Orange - Gin - 41.8%
The Balmenach Distillery is proudly located near Cromdale, in the heart of the majestic Scottish Highlands, within the splendid Cairngorm National Park. Renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship, this distillery primarily produces the prestigious Caorunn Gin. The name, which means Rowan Berry in Gaelic, refers to a central Celtic botanical ingredient in the unique recipe of this artisanal gin. Caorunn is produced in small batches, distilled four times under the expert supervision of a single master distiller, Simon Buley.
The gin is crafted with rigorous standards, using exclusively a superior quality neutral base spirit derived from carefully selected grains and pure Scottish water, known for its finesse. The recipe includes 11 noble botanical ingredients, including wild plants handpicked in the Highlands, such as bog myrtle, heather, Coul Blush apple, and dandelion leaf. These authentic flavors enhance the traditional botanicals: juniper berries, coriander seeds, orange and lemon peels, angelica root, and cassia bark, giving the gin an unparalleled complexity and aromatic richness.
The Caorunn Blood Orange is a true artisanal masterpiece, crafted through a delicate infusion combining 5 local Celtic plants with 6 classic gin botanicals, distilled in the famous "Copper Berry Chamber," an innovative copper still that rigorously removes sulfur and unwanted compounds to ensure optimal purity. This exceptional gin is elevated by the harmonious addition of a natural blood orange infusion and a hint of chili, offering an explosion of fruity, spicy, and refreshing flavors, perfectly balanced and ideal for discerning connoisseurs.
