On Wednesday, Balmenach Distillery, located in the heart of Speyside’s whisky region, launched a cask-aged expression of its award-winning Scottish gin.

Combining the artistry of gin and whisky craftsmanship, the brand’s flagship spirit, Caorunn Gin, is rested in Spanish Oak Casks, which impart notes of sweet spice, candied citrus and spiced toffee. According to the brand, Caorunn Cask Aged Gin is smooth enough to be sipped neat, yet makes for an ideal serve when paired with ginger ale.
