At El Cerrito Liquor, we're delighted to offer Caorunn Small Batch Scottish Gin, a true gem from the heart of the Scottish Highlands. Distilled at the Balmenach Distillery, this gin is a masterful blend of traditional botanicals and unique Celtic ingredients, creating a spirit that captures the essence of Scotland's natural beauty. The distillation process is carefully crafted in small batches, ensuring that every bottle reflects the utmost attention to detail and quality.
Caorunn Gin stands out with its exquisite balance of flavors, achieved through the infusion of five locally foraged botanicals: rowan berry, heather, dandelion, bog myrtle, and Coul blush apple. These ingredients are carefully selected to complement the six classic gin botanicals, resulting in a complex and refreshing profile. The rowan berry, often referred to as the "tree of life" in Celtic folklore, imparts a slightly bitter, earthy note, while the heather adds a subtle floral sweetness. The Coul blush apple provides a crisp, fruity undertone that lingers on the palate.
On the nose, Caorunn Gin is bright and aromatic, with a bouquet of fresh citrus, wild herbs, and a hint of spice. The initial taste is clean and crisp, with juniper and citrus flavors that are beautifully balanced by the botanical blend. As the gin opens up, the more subtle notes of heather and apple emerge, creating a harmonious and layered experience. The finish is smooth and dry, with a lingering warmth that invites another sip.
Perfect for a variety of cocktails, Caorunn Gin shines in a classic gin and tonic, where its crisp, refreshing character can be fully appreciated. It also pairs wonderfully with fresh garnishes like red apple slices or a sprig of rosemary, enhancing the natural flavors of the gin. Whether enjoyed in a cocktail or sipped neat, Caorunn offers a distinct taste of Scotland in every glass.

Legend has it that he ventured deep into the heart of the Highlands, where he discovered the elusive whispering willow tree, whose delicate leaves whispered secrets of unparalleled flavor.
With a keen eye for detail and a commitment to craftsmanship, Sir Reginald meticulously perfected the distillation process, blending juniper berries, coriander seeds, citrus peels, and a touch of the elusive whispering willow leaves. The result was a gin of unparalleled quality, renowned for its smoothness and complexity of flavor.
