Visitors to Edinburgh’s Cold Town House on June 7th and Glasgow’s Òran Mór on June 8thare set to be totally enthralled as they step into the enchanting orchards brimming with vibrant red apples.

The Caorunn apple orchard was inspired by Caorunn’s Perfect Serve, famously known for its signature garnish of red apples which complement the refreshingly, clean and crisp flavour of Caorunn Gin. The addition of apple pays tribute to the Coul blush apple – one of the Celtic botanicals found during production in Caorunn. Sweet slices of apple complement the full-bodied flavour of Caorunn, served with chilled tonic over ice. Savour every sip of your Perfect Serve in the stunning surroundings of Caorunn’s very own apple orchard – what better way to raise a glass?

Sarah McDonald, Brand Manager at Caorunn Gin said: ‘we’re so excited to bring the home of Caorunn Gin to Edinburgh and Glasgow with our captivating apple orchard! We can’t wait to spread the joy of Caorunn, known for its Celtic botanicals and garnished with the key ingredient: handpicked red Scottish apples. Be one of the first to come along and enjoy a complimentary Perfect Serve on us!’

Following the gin-themed celebrations, the orchard will be returning to Balmenach Distillery, the home of Caorunn in the Scottish Highlands. The apple trees will be donated to local schools in Grantown-on-Spey, reflecting Caorunn’s strong presence in the community and sustainable initiatives.
