Balmenach Makes Gin

Inverhouse's Balmenach Distillery on Speyside is making a top end gin using locally sourced botanicals including rowan berries, heather, bog myrtle, dandelion and coul blush apple. The gin is the brain child of one of the distillers at Balmenach, Simon Buley, who uses a novel cooper berry chamber through which the vapour infuses. The product even has a Highland name - Caorunn (Gaelic for rowan berry) and comes packaged in a beautifully shaped clear glass bottle.
