Caru Spirits
Sustainable Liqueurs with Welsh Heart
At Penseru, we take pride in bringing you exceptional products that combine quality, sustainability and meaningful stories. We're delighted to feature Caru Spirits in our luxury gift boxes, offering you a taste of premium, handcrafted liqueurs that embody conscious craftsmanship.
Who Are Caru?
Caru (Welsh for "love") was born during a cold, lonely lockdown from a longing for the taste of Christmas in Wales. What began as a homemade ginger brandy liqueur inspired by gingerbread and Old Fashioned cocktails, initially crafted as Christmas gifts, evolved into something special when the warm reception inspired further refinement.
With help from a fellow Welshman, John at his Essex distillery, these initial experiments were transformed into a collection of delicious, artisanal liqueurs. Though made in England, Caru remains proudly Welsh at heart, bringing traditional flavours to life through sustainable modern practices.
Why We Chose Caru
We selected Caru for our gift boxes because their philosophy and products perfectly align with Penseru's values:
Sustainability First: Caru exemplifies eco-conscious production. Their brandy is distilled from surplus wine and sweetened with locally sourced honey, supporting British bees while reducing waste. All ingredients and packaging are sustainably sourced where possible, with recyclable materials and a commitment to no plastic (or biodegradable plastic only when unavoidable).
Low Carbon Footprint: Inspired by the slow food movement, Caru's products are distilled, aged, refined, and dispatched from the same site, minimizing transportation emissions and environmental impact.
Artisanal Quality: Each bottle represents the finest in traditional distillation methods combined with creative flavour development, resulting in liqueurs of exceptional character and refinement.
Meaningful Origins: Like all products in our gift boxes, Caru tells a story—one of Welsh heritage, lockdown creativity, and the power of sharing something made with love.
