Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

What is a Liqueur?

A liqueur is a spirit that has been macerated with ingredients and syrup to make a sweeter-lower abv% drink. Gin & vodka must have a minimum alcohol content of 37.5% abv, anything lower can be classified as liqueurs or Ready-To-Drink for example.

How is our Raspberry Craft Gin Liqueur made?

We start with our base gin which has been cut to 37.5% to 40% before infusing with whole fruit, this process is sometimes referred to as maceration. We have always used real, whole fruit as much of the flavour is held in the skin of the fruit and an in-house sugar syrup recipe. It takes longer to make but a richer flavour is evident with the natural colour and taste of the liqueur.

How strong is our Raspberry Craft Gin Liqueur?

The abv varies on each batch because it depends on how much juice is released from the fruit. The process is the same, but our alcohol content will vary per batch. In the decade Jill & Sheena have been making the liqueurs batches will range from 22% to 29%.

Where do the Raspberries come from?

We use local Scottish Raspberries from the local fruit farm at Wester Hardmuir, Nairn.
