Cadenheads Old Raj Gin 55%
Cadenhead’s Old Raj Gin 55% is a premium-strength Scottish gin celebrated for its bold juniper character, refined botanical balance and distinctive pale-gold hue. Produced in Campbeltown by Scotland’s oldest independent bottler, it stands out for the addition of real saffron after distillation, a rare and luxurious touch that subtly enhances both aroma and colour. The result is a classic yet elevated dry gin with exceptional clarity, intensity and depth. On the nose, Old Raj 55% opens with bright, clean juniper supported by gentle citrus from Seville orange peel and a whisper of floral spice from the saffron. The palate is powerful and precise, driven by juniper and layered with warm spice notes from cinnamon, cassia and nutmeg. Liquorice and orris root add a soft sweetness that rounds the edges without diminishing the gin’s dry, structured profile. The finish is long, warm and aromatic, carrying lingering spice and citrus that showcase the gin’s higher proof. This expression is crafted for drinkers who appreciate a traditional gin with added complexity and strength. Its robust flavour makes it ideal for cocktails where clarity and botanical definition matter, such as a Martini, Negroni or a premium G&T.
Colombo London Dry Gin
Colombo London Dry Gin is built around a spiced, aromatic profile inspired by Sri Lankan botanicals, giving it a distinctive twist on the classic London Dry style. Its aroma shows clean juniper, warm spice, soft citrus and a gentle earthy note that reflects its South Asian influence. On the palate, it offers a smooth, dry texture with balanced juniper, lively peppery spice, subtle coriander and a touch of citrus brightness. The finish is crisp, warm and lightly spiced, making it a characterful choice for classic gin cocktails where a bolder botanical profile can really shine.
