Cadenhead’s Old Raj 55% Dry Gin is crafted in Campbeltown, Scotland, a town renowned for its long tradition of distilling excellence. This premium gin features a distinctively bold flavor, thanks to its higher alcohol content of 55%, offering a robust and complex character. Old Raj stands out for its use of saffron, which gives the gin a subtle golden hue and adds a delicate exotic note to the mix.
On the palate, it reveals a vibrant blend of botanicals, with juniper leading the charge, supported by citrus, coriander, and a gentle hint of spice. The saffron lends a unique touch of earthiness, rounding out the experience with a refined depth. The higher proof enhances the aromatic intensity, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate a more pronounced gin profile.
This versatile gin is best enjoyed in classic cocktails like a Martini or Negroni, where its strength and botanical complexity can shine through. It also holds up remarkably well when served simply with tonic, offering a bold, refreshing drink with a sophisticated edge.
