Caorunn Blood Orange Small Batch Scottish Gin

Handcrafted at Balmenach Distillery in Speyside, Scotland, Caorunn Blood Orange Small Batch Scottish Gin is a vibrant, citrus-led variation of the distillery’s flagship expression. Distilled in small batches using a unique copper Berry Chamber, this spirit combines Caorunn's signature five locally foraged Highland botanicals—Rowan Berry, Bog Myrtle, Heather, Coul Blush Apple, and Dandelion—with natural blood orange essence and chili. The result is a crisp, refreshing, and brightly balanced gin with a sweet, bitter-citrus focus backed by Highland herbal complexity.

Food Pairing: Grilled prawns, duck liver pate, spicy prawns or tacos, goat cheese salad, dark chocolate mousse, or citrus-infused tarts.

Tasting Notes: Crystal clear with a subtle, pale warm sheen in appearance; light, crisp, and refreshing on the palate.

Nose: Intensely aromatic with crisp blood orange oil and juicy citrus zest leading upfront, accompanied by crisp green apple, floral heather, and subtle piney juniper.

Palate: Energetic, bright, and citrus-forward, opening with tangy blood orange juice and bitter citrus pith before revealing subtle crisp apple, earthy rowan berry, bog myrtle, and a faint hint of warming chili spice.

Finish: Medium-long, clean, and dry with lingering notes of bittersweet blood orange, subtle herbal pine, and a crisp citrus tang.

Serve: Serve over large ice cubes topped with premium tonic water or Mediterranean tonic, garnished with a slice of fresh orange or blood orange and a slice of red apple, or as an ideal base for a Blood Orange Spritz or Negroni.
