Watenshi Gin

From the Cambridge Distillery comes a rather exclusive gin. Behold, Watenshi Gin. It’s so special because it’s made from the angel’s share of the distillery’s Japanese Gin, which would otherwise be lost to evaporation. Hence why it’s named Watenshi, which is the name for a Japanese angel. Through managing to collect it, the distillery yields just 15ml of spirit per distillation. Each batch of Watenshi yields just six bottles – talk about small batch! The unique gin is presented in a hand-blown decanter bottle, finished with silver. This is certainly one to sip slowly.

Sweet citrus and spice, supported by bitter juniper and an incredibly long, complex finish.

Crystal clear in appearance, Watenshi is a dry, medium-bodied gin that balances undeniable intensity with fresh softness.Menthol notes of shiso partnered with yuzu citrus deliver lively acidity and energy, while a base of sansho and juniper provide a rich, long finish to savour. Truly, objectively, outstanding.Watenshi is best enjoyed either neat, or over ice.
