Caorunn gin is handcrafted in small batches in a unique Copper Berry chamber by Gin Master, Simon Buley, with his enormous distilling and spirit expertise. The specialty is created by infusing five locally-foraged botanicals from Speyside including dandelion, heather, Coul blush apple, bog myrtle and rowan berry along with six traditional gin botanicals and natural Scottish water.
