Old Raj Dry Gin is a Scottish dry gin bottled by WM Cadenhead Ltd. in Campbeltown, first introduced in 1972. It is made with nine botanicals including juniper berries, orange and lemon peel, coriander seed, angelica root, orris root, cassia bark and almond powder, with saffron added post-distillation, giving the gin its distinctive pale golden color. It is available in two expressions: a Red Label at 46% ABV and a Blue Label at 55% ABV, with retail prices typically ranging from $45 to $60.

  • Juniper is muted, and orange/orange peel are hefty on the nose. Old Raj is the slightest bit yellow due to the addition of saffron to the infusion, but it’s very subtle, unlike Gabriel Boudier’s nuclear Saffron Infused Gin. The flavors all come across as fresh and natural here — nothing chemical, no aftertaste — all completely in harmony and offering a nicely semisweet finish.

  • This is an intriguing, old style of gin, with a faintly yellowish tinge and light, earthy flavors that wind into a complex, spicy finish marked by hints of black pepper, anise and cassia bark.
