Caorunn Gin is a small batch distilled Scottish Gin infused with five Celtic botanicals.
The use of time-honoured Celtic botanicals, traditional gin plant and handcrafting process reflects our desire to revive traditional Celtic influences. The unique Copper Berry Chamber we use to infuse our carefully chosen blend of six traditional gin botanicals and five Celtic botanicals plays a critical role in creating Caorunn Gin, a gin like no other.
The process of making Caorunn
Caorunn is handcrafted and small batch distilled gin controlled by the Gin
Master, Simon. A small batch is usually 1,000 litres. We use pure grain spirit, not molasses like most gins, to ensure high quality.
The pure grain spirit is vaporised through our Unique Copper Berry Chamber that was made in the 1920s, when gin was produced with a slow process to enable enough time to infuse the subtle flavour of the botanicals. It is a round chamber with copper frame and carries 4 trays.
We spread our botanicals on the trays, allowing the grain spirit vapour to meet the botanicals on a largest possible surface during the infusion process and to pick up the aromatics and flavours of the botanicals.
Caorunn draws on centuries of distilling expertise, on the pure Scottish Highland water provided by the surrounding springs and the time-honoured Celtic botanicals which are characteristic plants of the surrounding hills of Balmenach Distillery.
The taste of Caorunn
Infusing eleven botanicals in our unique Copper Berry Chamber we harness Scotlands unique natural resources and age old botanicals. The fabled Rowan Berry forms the very soul of our gin. Caorunn, pronounced ka-roon, is the Gaelic word for Rowan Berry that has inspired Celtic medicines and recipes for generations.
