\"Caurunn The first thing one notices about Caorunn gin is, well, the gin! Its rather classy bottle presents mountain-stream-clear aromatic alcohol in its purest form. It invites the prospective drinker to anticipate the cool, crisp gin within.<\/p>\n

For me, Caorunn is a classic gin. It\u2019s well-crafted and balanced. Its infusion is delicate, a few of the aromatics being more pronounced. Nothing is overpowering, however, making this a perfect gin for sipping with the traditional tonic or as part of a cocktail. It\u2019s versatile, an all-rounder.<\/p>\n

On the nose this offers a good belt of juniper, as expected. That\u2019s what a classic gin is all about. There is a hint of something lightly floral on the palate, but then comes the citrus, which gives a nod to the whole gamut from lemon through orange and even a suspicion of grapefruit on the finish.<\/p>\n

Lacks the harshness of many new-age spirits<\/h4>\n

Caorunn, pronounced \u2018ka-roon’, is the Gaelic word for rowan berry and those tiny orange fruits are said to be integral to the flavour profile of this product. I can\u2019t argue with that as I have never actually tasted rowan berries. Whatever they are contributing they are doing a good job!<\/p>\n

The finish was agreeably long but mellow. This gin lacks the harshness of many new-age spirits, making this a brand that will endure.<\/p>\n

The new Caorunn Gin bottle will be available from March for \u00a328 RRP in selected Waitrose, Sainsbury\u2019s, and Tesco; also Fortnum and Mason, Oddbins, The Conran Shop, Spirited Wines, The Whisky Shop and spirit specialists. The price is subject to change throughout the year within the different retailers.<\/p>\n

Caorunn is appreciated around the world, and is available in more than 35 countries. It is stocked in leading UK cocktail bars, hotels and restaurants such as London Gin Club, The Merchant House, Mr Fogg\u2019s, Duck & Waffle, Hawksmoor Guildhall, and Sheraton Hotel.<\/p>\n
