Premium brandy liqueur

“A person may acquire a taste for wine or brandy, and so lose his love for water, but we should not pity him.”

Henry David Thoreau

Caru Tasting Notes

Our smooth British brandy liqueur has a sweet seductive aroma of brandied raisins, vanilla and fresh orange. On the palate, velvet cocoa and coffee give way to light spiced prunes with a subtle hint of ginger to close. Caru is an artisanal premium liqueur sustainably produced in the UK. Developed in partnership with one of the UK’s most highly regarded distilleries, Caru is a re-imagination of a timelessly elegant spirit with a hint of the exotic and a luxurious taste - a timeless tonic with a modern twist, bringing a touch of spice to a traditionally strengthening spirit to warm and comfort.

Best served straight over ice or in an Old Fashioned.

Caru - /ˈkæri:/ - is the verbal noun for ‘love’ in Welsh and - /ˈkæru:/- in old English means ‘care’.

Seasonal Caru Serves

A local British distillery

We are very proud to be partnering with English Spirit Distillery to help realise our dream and finesse flavours with the expert guidance of one of the UK’s master distillers and first creators of British made Brandy.

The Caru brandy base is distilled from English wine (Chardonnay) in Essex. After distilling, the brandy is then aged for a minimum of 6 months on site before being developed, with a combination of spices and local honey, into Caru Brandy Liqueur.

A sustainable liqueur, made in England, Welsh at heart

Caru was developed from a longing in the midst of a lonely cold lockdown for the taste of Christmas back home in Wales. Originally developed as a ginger brandy liqueur inspired by gingerbread and Old Fashioned’s to be handed out as Christmas gifts, the warm reception Caru received inspired the development of the flavours into a refined artisanal product. With the help of a fellow Welshman (John at his distillery in Essex) to finesse the recipe, we created a delicious liqueur sustainably made in the UK. The brandy is distilled from surplus wine and sweetened with locally sourced honey to support British bees and reduce waste. The liqueur is inspired by the slow food movement and is distilled, aged refined and posted directly from the same site - meaning it has a low carbon footprint. All ingredients and packaging are sustainably sourced where possible. The packaging is recyclable, and we have a commitment to no plastic where possible and otherwise biodegradable plastic only..
