JJ WHITLEY LONDON DRY GIN

Caorunn is expertly handcrafted by Gin Master Simon Buley at Balmenach Distillery in the Scottish Highlands. Harnessing Scotland’s unique natural resources, Caorunn is infused to perfection in small batches, 1,000 litres at a time, in the world’s only working Copper Berry Chamber.
The highest quality pure grain spirit and crystal clear Scottish water are married with 6 traditional and 5, Celtic, handpicked botanicals from the surrounding hills (Rowan Berries, Coul Blush Apple, Heather, Dandelion, Bog Myrtle). Caorunn {pronounced ‘ka-roon’} from the Gaelic for ‘Rowan Berry’- is a quadruple distilled modern London Dry Gin.
Caorunn is dry and crisp, aromatic with floral, fruity notes. The taste is clean, sweet and full-bodied, with a fresh and long-lasting finish – perfectly served with fresh red apple slices.

Just as Caorunn means ‘rowan berry’, Caorunn Highland Strength means business. Our striking hand-picked botanical gin recipe is at its most efficacious at a powerful 54% ABV. With an almost minty fresh aroma, the juniper is balanced by fragrant and herbal notes. You’ll taste a peppery and fruity flavour and can expect a lingering finish and luxurious mouthfeel.

Hernö Navy Strength Gin, a bold flagship rich in flavour, is made from the same distilled gin as Hernö Gin, but diluted to 57% instead of 40,5%. The difference in aroma and taste is very clear and Hernö Navy Strength has an overall richer flavour with bolder juniper, coriander and citrus.

The British royal navy demanded stronger gin when traditional gin strength ruined the gunpowder, which wouldn’t ignite after being soaked by spilled gin.

Hernö Navy Strength Gin was released on the 1st of April 2013.

Later the same year it was awarded with double Master medals at the Global Gin Masters and another Master 2014.
