Cairngorm Gin Company is nestled in a valley beneath the wild and breathtaking Cairngorms National Park in the Highlands of Scotland. Founder and Distiller Jack Smith was born and raised in the valley of the River Spey and his family has called the Cairngorms region of the Highlands home for decades. Jack and his family share a love of the great outdoors along with the native flora and fauna that surrounds their home.
It was this admiration and passion for the outdoors and local landscape that inspired Jack to establish a Scottish Gin distillery around his love of the local area. Cairngorm Gin Company launched their signature gin Cairngorm Gin in November 2019, which captures in the packaging and flavour, a taste of the Cairngorms.
Cairngorm Gin is a handcrafted premium distilled gin, produced in small batches (up to 70 bottles per batch) in a traditional copper pot still named “Ginger”, named after distiller Jack’s late grandfather. Distilled using a combination of nine botanicals including juniper, cloudberries, elderflower and Caledonian pine, partnered with coriander seed, orris root, sweet orange peel, angelica and kaffir lime, which are all distilled along with fresh water collected by Jack from the River Spey. The gin is described as a wonderfully refreshing aromatic gin. This bold infusion of botanicals and Highland Mountain water results in a floral, fruity gin with subtle earthy tones that can be enjoyed neat over ice or with a premium tonic, a slice of green apple, and a raspberry and blackberry to enhance the cloudberry tones.
