The process of making Caorunn

Caorunn is handcrafted and small batch distilled gin controlled by the Gin
Master, Simon. A small batch is usually 1,000 litres. We use pure grain spirit, not molasses like most gins, to ensure high quality.

The pure grain spirit is vaporised through our Unique Copper Berry Chamber that was made in the 1920’s, when gin was produced with a slow process to enable enough time to infuse the subtle flavour of the botanicals. It is a round chamber with copper frame and carries 4 trays.

We spread our botanicals on the trays, allowing the grain spirit vapour to meet the botanicals on a largest possible surface during the infusion process and to pick up the aromas and flavours of the botanicals.

Caorunn draws on centuries of distilling expertise, on the pure Scottish water provided by the surrounding springs and the time-honoured Celtic botanicals which are characteristic plants of the surrounding hills of Balmenach Distillery.

The use of time-honoured Celtic botanicals, traditional gin plant and handcrafting process reflects our desire to revive traditional Celtic influences.
