About this SPIRIT
The Cambridge Distillery
Cambridge Distillery was co-founded by William Lowe, the world’s first – and only – person to be both a Master of Wine (MW) and master distiller. Here, William and his small team craft a range of notably innovative gins, including Anty Gin (“the world’s first insect-based gin”) and Watenshi (“the world’s most exclusive gin”). The latter is produced using a proprietary technique of fractional condensation: to make a single bottle requires 50 individual still-runs. They use only fresh botanicals, processing them as and when they are in season and reserving the distilled liquid for later blending – and treating each ingredient separately. In all, there are nine individual variables per ingredient here. Considering that they work with hundreds of individual ingredients, the possibilities are virtually endless.
Description
This beautifully fragrant gin uses a range of fresh botanicals, distilled very sensitively to complement the weight of juniper. Particularly prevalent, for me, is lemon verbena, brightening the entire affair and thoroughly enervating a pre-prandial G&T.
