Cadenhead’s Old Raj Gin is distinctive in that it contains a measure of saffron, the rare and costly spice derived from the crocus flower. In addition to a slightly spicy flavour, this also imparts a pale yellow colour to Old Raj. The addition of saffron is undertaken personally by the Company Chairman in order to ensure a consistency in flavour and colour each time Old Raj is bottled.

Wine Enthusiast 96 points (Jan 2000) Too expensive for gin, you say? Remember, we're talking "ultimate", and this, unquestionably, is the pinnacle of gin. It is intensely flavored & herbal, but smooth & elegant, even though it's 110 proof. Old Raj is so well put together that the high alcohol level is never an issue, mixed or neat. Score: 96. |
