Caorunn Gin (pronounced ‘ka-roon’) is distilled at Balmenach Distillery, which can trace its origins back to 1824, making it one of the oldest distilleries in Speyside! It was also one of the first distilleries in Scotland to be licensed in the production of Scotch whisky. One of the distillers Simon Buley is also a gin enthusiast, and in 2009 pursued the idea of making a Scottish gin at the working malt whisky distillery. It’s based right in the heart of the Cairngorm National Park, and it was the history of this area that inspired the ancient techniques and Celtic botanicals used in the gin.
