Next stop on our itinerary is a tour and tasting at Kinara Gin Distillery. Operating since 2017, this wee micro distillery has been going from strength to strength. Situated in the 12,000 acres of the Cairngorm National Park, nature has provided a wonderful selection of local fauna and berries, which are foraged by the small and passionate highland team. These are infused with carefully sourced botanicals to create Kinrara’s range of unique and flavoursome dry gins. Everything from the foraging to the bottling is meticulously done by hand, to create this small batch spirit.
