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.
