CAORUNN Gin, the spirit of the Scottish Highlands, took over Edinburgh and Glasgow in time for World Gin Day yesterday, transforming iconic venues into enchanting apple orchards.
Visitors to Edinburgh’s Cold Town House and Glasgow’s Òran Mór were totally enthralled as they stepped into the enchanting orchards brimming with vibrant red apples.
The reimagined venues bloomed before their eyes with a host of interactive elements for customers to enjoy.
Caorunn even offered over 1000 gin loving guests a complimentary G&T when they visited the apple orchard – it was an unforgettable occasion for all who came along.

The Caorunn apple orchard was inspired by Caorunn’s Perfect Serve, famously known for its signature garnish of red apples which complement the refreshingly, clean and crisp flavour of Caorunn Gin.
The addition of apple pays tribute to the Coul blush apple – one of the Celtic botanicals found during production in Caorunn.
Sweet slices of apple complement the full-bodied flavour of Caorunn, served with chilled tonic over ice.
Visitors were able to savour every sip of Perfect Serve in the stunning surroundings of Caorunn’s very own apple orchard – what better way to raise a glass?
Sarah McDonald, Brand Manager at Caorunn Gin said: “We’re so excited to bring the home of Caorunn Gin to Edinburgh and Glasgow with our captivating apple orchard!
“We can’t wait to spread the joy of Caorunn, known for its Celtic botanicals and garnished with the key ingredient: handpicked red Scottish apples. ’’
Following the gin-themed celebrations, the orchard will be returning to Balmenach Distillery, the home of Caorunn in the Scottish Highlands.
The apple trees will be donated to local schools in Grantown-on-Spey, reflecting Caorunn’s strong presence in the community and sustainable initiatives.
For those who couldn’t make it to the Caorunn apple orchard in Edinburgh or Glasgow, you celebrate World Gin Day any day of the year by making your own Perfect Serve at home.
