Caorunn is crafted in a whisky distillery – Scotland’s Speyside’s Balmenach – one of the first distilleries to be licensed in the production of Scotch whisky in 1824.
Caorunn has 11 botanicals. The main five Celtic ingredients – rowan berry, bog myrtle, heather, coul blush apple and dandelion leaf. These five main botanicals enhance the remaining six traditional botanicals. This special mix of botanicals results in a crisp well balanced dry gin. Although there are hints of citrus, apple, spice and juniper... the flavors are subtle and smooth. For enjoyable G&T options serve with a garnish of choice. Excellent! — 3 years ago

Aromas of lemon myrtle developing toasty notes. The palate showing that waxy lanolin texture you see in aged Hunter Valley Semillon - they put on palate weight as they age. Still retaining that zippy citric acid. Pros in the UK often swore that these aged Semillons saw oak maturation but the reality is that only stainless steel is involved. This is the 2nd of 8 in my cellar. I believe that good Hunter Valley Semillon should only be approached after 10 years. This will age until the late 2020s. Had another bottle 94 weeks later on 6 January 2024. Still very lemony with a long life to go. Exceptional Semillon. — 3 years ago
With Gregg, Greg, Andy, Jerry, Marc and me at Hook and Barrel during our Myrtle Beach golf outing Sept 18, 2021. — 4 years ago
Slightly off-dry on the palate. Pronounced aromas, but I’m not quite sure that I like them, green and red peppers abound. Eucalyptus and mint, balsamic, savory, red cherries red plums, myrtle. Baking spice, curry. But on the palate, it’s cloying, medium tannins that are so ripe as to feel like a dessert. High alcohol. — 4 years ago

14% abv. A savory Shiraz. I enjoyed this with an O’Connor sirloin at Myrtle Wine Bar in Melbourne. The food is fantastic, staff is outstanding, the wine list is chock full of tasty nuggets from small producers. #MyrtleWineBar — a year ago
