Two Scottish brands have decided to set up a collaboration, gin and kilts what could possibly go wrong. Increasingly brands are setting up collaborations with fashion designers to boost sales.  
One such example is the recent union between Scottish drinks brand Caorunn Gin (pronounced ?ka-roon?, Gaelic for Rowan Berry) and the rising star of Kilt making Siobhan MacKenzie.
Caorunn is approaching eight successful years and in that short time has won multiple awards. Most recently, a Gold Award for ?Scottish Gin Destination of The Year? at the very first Scottish Gin Awards.

Simon Buley, Gin Master, created this true Scottish gin in 2009, and has been hand-crafting Caorunn ever since. The work began when a 1920s copper berry chamber was transplanted to the distillery, this led to Simon scouring the area for natural ingredients that grew locally and had a significant Celtic link. He is involved in every step of the process ensuring that every bottle of Caorunn is of the highest standard.  Critically acclaimed Scottish fashion designer, Siobhan MacKenzie is making strides in a male dominated industry. Traditionally kilt making is left to the men folk. MacKenzie brings her own set of special skills, and as a result her unique kilts stand out from the crowd. And this is what attracted the gin makers to set up the collaboration. Siobhan is a pioneer in the fashion world and put her knowledge and life experience to good us...
