Distilled and bottled at 54% ABV, Caorunn Highland Strength is a peppery, fruity and herbaceous gin with a strong juniper character. The higher ABV delivers more fragrance on the nose and a deeper, more complex flavour profile.

Almost minty fresh, the juniper is balanced by fragrant and herbal notes.

Finish
Luxurious mouthfeel and lingering finish.
How to enjoy this gin
A great way to enjoy Caorunn Highland Strength Gin is one part gin to three parts chilled tonic water then garnish with red apple slices and orange twist. Another way to really savour this quality flavour profile is in a classic Martini with just a dash of white vermouth and citrus peel.
About Caorunn
Nestled deep in the stunning landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, you’ll discover the home of Caorunn and the Balmenach Distillery. Situated on the banks of the River Spey, the distillery stands beneath the nearby hill of Tom Lethendry, where the Jacobites were defeated in the Battle of Cromdale in 1690. In 1897, the distillery was purchased by Glenlivet and was served by its own railway branch off the Strathspey Railway until 1969. The distillery closed in 1941 and re-opened in 1947, following expansion of its facilities.
Production
Established in 1824 by James MacGregor, whose family were farmers and illicit distillers, the Balmenach Distillery resides on the banks of the River Spey and is home to Caorunn Gin and the Caorunn Gin Distillery where seasoned distiller Simon Buley has been making Caorunn Gin for over a decade. Built in the 1920's, the unique copper berry chamber is legacy to a time when all gin was produced using this slow, careful process. The balanced mix of botanicals is spread across the four perforated trays of the copper berry chamber. The vapourised spirit slowly rises through the chamber, allowing the vapours to be saturated with sumptuous subtle fresh aromas and flavours.
