Caorunn Small Batch Scottish Gin Review
Speyside may be best known for its single malts but this Scottish gin shows the region has plenty more to offer. Caorunn arrives with a herbaceous, spicy character — the result of its mix of six traditional botanicals with five botanicals foraged in the highlands. Vibrant wildflowers stand out on the nose, while citrus peel and pepper spice define the palate. Pair with a high-quality vermouth in a 50:50 Martini.
