Super premium gin Renais is celebrating its second birthday with the launch of a limited-edition Grand Cru Cask-Aged Gin today. Representing Renais’ first liquid innovation since its launch in 2023, Renais Cask-Aged Gin will be available to UK consumers from today, RRP £90 for a 70 cl bottle from www.renais.co.uk. This new expression has an initial limited amount of 720 bottles.
This first addition to the Renais Gin portfolio pays homage to the French wine-making traditions and heritage that inspired Renais Gin. Carefully rested for one year in hand-selected French oak casks that once held prestigious Grand Cru wines, this gin embodies a fusion of distilling precision and oenological heritage.
Crafted in small batches, each bottle captures the essence of Renais’ terroir-driven philosophy while introducing layered complexity, silky texture, vanilla and spice notes and a distinctive hue influenced by its time in wine-soaked oak. The result is a sophisticated spirit, ideal for contemplative sipping or luxurious reinterpretations of classic cocktails.
Renais Grand Cru Cask-Aged Gin is presented in a stunning 70 cl bottle which is adorned with an emerald green label and edged with gold foil providing texture. Each bottle is individually hand numbered and packaged in biodegradable mycelium, within an emerald sleeve.
Alex Watson, CEO and Co-founder of Renais Gin marks the brand’s second anniversary with the launch of its latest expression:
“Renais Grand Cru Cask-Aged brings together innovation and heritage, distilled into something truly special. It’s a bold addition to our portfolio that honours our French roots while pushing the boundaries of what gin can be. We’re proud to bring something truly unique to the market as we continue to redefine luxury gin.”
