Caorunn, a gin created in the Scottish Highlands, have come up with its own Burns Night Martini, to celebrate Scottish spirits whilst branching out from the classic whisky tipple. The martini gives a nod to Burns Night with the inclusion of Old Pulteney, whose coastal location provides a saltiness, to provide the perfect martini to be enjoyed whilst celebrating the life of bard Robert Burns.
The saltiness from the Old Pulteney balances the floral aromas of both the Italicus botanicals and Caorunn modern London dry gin, creating a drink that is bold menough to compliment and accompany any Burns Night dinner, providing Caorunn fans with a refreshing alternative to the classic dram.
