Cambridge Japanese Gin

The Cambridge Distillery was the first to create a truly seasonal gin, using only home grown and freshly foraged botanicals each season to create two distinct gins each year.

A victim of their own success, Cambridge Seasonal Gins often sell out within days leaving a rather long gap until the next batch comes along. Until now…

Having developed an expertise in local botanicals around the year, they have now created a blend of flavours from all four seasons. Whilst production of Cambridge Seasonal Gin remains on a very limited scale, they are able to produce this new line a few hundred, rather than a few dozen, bottles at a time.

The result? Cambridge Dry Gin: a gin for all seasons!

They still use Macedonian juniper (they find it to have the most elegant flavour), then blend in the following local botanicals:

- Blackcurrant leaf – for a wonderful sweet, fruit sensation

- Basil and rosemary – from the distillery gardens, adding rich green flavour

- Lemon verbena – a local and sustainable citrus character

- Rose and violet petals – for light, floral notes

- Angelica seed – to add just a touch of spice

As with all our gins each botanical is distilled individually, in volumes of less than 2 litres, under vacuum to preserve the freshest qualities possible.
