What makes Caorunn Gin so unique?
Our small-batch distillation process uses a Copper Berry Chamber created in the US, back in the 1920s. The sole purpose of this chamber was to extract essential oils as a base to create perfumes, but what does this mean for crafting gin you might ask?
Well, using the Copper Berry Chamber to distil our gin means the copper works by reacting with the fragrances of our botanicals, extracting maximum flavour to create perfectly balanced and delicious gin. Pretty clever, eh?
Not only that, but we hand-forage 5 Celtic botanicals locally, and blend these with 6 classic gin botanicals to create a uniquely balanced and flavourful recipe.
Our slow distillation means the Copper Berry Chamber can take its time to create a perfectly balanced, well rounded and delicious gin with those specially selected botanicals. Not just ingenious - it's Gin Genius.
Our unique distillation process is carefully crafted in small batches. We use 1,000 litres of wheat grain neutral spirit, which begins its journey in Vat No.2 as it sets out to become Caorunn Gin.
The alcohol runs from Vat No.2 into the Vaporiser (affectionately known as Little Rocket) and is heated by steam to produce alcohol vapour. This vapour is then piped into the Copper Berry Chamber - where our ingenious infusion begins.
The 11 botanicals in our unique blend are evenly spread across the 4 perforated trays in our famous Copper Berry Chamber. Using diffusers, we distribute the vapour slowly & evenly to make sure we extract the maximum flavours & aromas from the botanicals.
Feint Tank 1 sees the first botanical-infused vapour pass through the condenser & then run through the vaporiser & Copper Berry Chamber for a second time. This allows the vapour to pick up even more flavour from the botanicals. We did say it was genius.
Once our Gin Geniuses are sure the alcohol has adopted just the right amount of botanical flavour, it's passed to Vat No.3 while the rest of the contents pass through stages 3 & 4. This distillation process takes 3-4 hours; you can't hurry perfection.
Finally, after the alcohol has slowly infused the maximum flavour from our Celtic botanical blend, all 1000 litres from the batch are bottled ready for you to enjoy. Get your apples ready.
