About Cadenhead's Old Raj

Cadenhead's Old Raj gin is bottled in Campbeltown and made with saffron for a truly unique colour and flavour. It's a gin that excels in a classic G&T. For the newcomer, the saffron offers a surprising, spiced twist on the classic gin flavour; for the connoisseur, Cadenhead's is interesting as Scotland's oldest independent spirits company, founded in 1842, where the Old Raj gin comes in two strengths, a classic 46% and a powerful 55%, each with its own colour intensity depending on the amount of saffron used.

History & Background

Cadenhead's was founded in 1842 in Campbeltown, then known as the capital of whisky with more distilleries than any other town in Scotland, and remains today the country's oldest still-operating independent spirits company. Old Raj gin was developed as a tribute to the gin and spice traditions of British colonial India, where saffron was historically used to colour and flavour spirits. Cadenhead's is today owned by J&A Mitchell & Co., which also owns the Springbank distillery, and the house is known for maintaining an independent, niche-focused profile across both whisky and gin.

Production & Style

The gin is distilled with juniper and classic botanicals, with added saffron giving it its distinctive golden colour.

Signature Style

Spicy, Earthy, Complex
