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 by one of the UK’s master distillers in his award-winning distillery, 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’.

Caru Desserts
As a sweet delicious and smooth brandy liqueur, Caru also holds its own on the dessert menu.
A local British distillery
We are very proud to be partnering with English Spirit Distillery to help realise our dream and finesse flavours under the expert guidance of Dr John Walters 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, in John’s award winning distillery at Great Yeldham. 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 in Essex 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..
Brand Statement
Caru Spirits is a luxury, ecologically conscious spirit company. Our liquids are hand-distilled using traditional methods and only the finest ingredients. We are inspired by the 'slow' movement and committed to helping keep local culture alive through delicious, high quality, and creative spirit blends.
The name Caru is a tribute to the Welsh heart of the liqueur.
All you need is Caru.
“Delicious, perfect over ice!”
