Inspired by the Minke Whale, the majestic creatures that swim wild off our Atlantic Ocean coastline. The same local coastline is home to the unique botanical that gives Minke Gin its distinct flavour profile.
Foraged by Hand
We climb the cliffs along our shoreline to sustainably harvest native Rock Samphire, only by hand and only in season. It’s really worth the effort!
Amongst our Rock Samphire, we use other botanicals such as lavendar, citrus fruits, cardamom and lemon verbena.
Minke Spirit
The base spirit used to make Minke Gin is derived from whey, produced from our 8th generation family farm near Galley Head Lighthouse (and other West Cork farms). This gives a unique velvety texture and mouthfeel to each delicious drop.
For Minke Gin we go full circle, grass to glass, harvesting nature at its best.
Singularity is an organic vodka tuned to deliver a clean flavour and silky mouthfeel. In this simplest of mixtures, there is still room to select the best alcohol and water, as well as a mixing and filtering process which softens the palate.

This pink gin just sings of summertime! The sweet aroma of fresh strawberries emanates from the glass, contrasting with the initial warming black pepper and juniper spice when sipped. The flavour evolves into delicate sweet notes of light strawberry and lemon on the finish.
Gin 8 demonstrates how molecular flavour tuning can make a harmonious blend of just 8 separate molecular notes. These are derived from 8 exotic botanicals, including Kaffir lime, yuzu and grains of paradise, layered over a core of subtle, organic juniper.

This partnership pays tribute to Charles Darwin's insatiable curiosity and the spirit of adventure that marked his iconic journey aboard the HMS Beagle. The creation of Darwin Collection Gin: Americas Herbarium serves as a testament to Darwin's profound impact, capturing the essence of his groundbreaking work in a luxurious spirit. Carefully curated from meticulously sourced botanicals, this blend traces its origins back to the historical depths of the Cambridge University Herbarium, where Darwin's original specimens found a sanctuary.
It was created using botanicals that were foraged locally in the spring and summer of 2021 in a bid to capture the essence of the shifting English seasons. Billed as a “collector’s item”
The gin was distilled using the company’s novo-dimensional distillation system, in which nine variables including temperature, pressure and time can be adjusted for the distillation of each botanical. These separate distillates are then blended together to create the final spirit.
With botanicals include lemon balm, hawthorn blossom, nettles and cow parsley flowers, Cambridge Distillery says the gin is elegant with citrus and herbaceous notes. It recommends serving chilled, over ice, or in an extra-dry martini.

Traditional juniper combines with fresh basil, rosemary, rose petal, angelica seed, blackcurrant leaf and the effervescent citrus finish of lemon verbena. The result is an homage to both our heritage and to the aromatic, sensorial delight of an English meadow at the height of summer.
This years expression is a citrus delight, featuring lemon thyme, lemon verbena, and lemon balm giving a suggestion of sherbert zestiness with an extensive finish within multiple citrus driven layers.
The resulting blend of these individual distillates is a balanced, refreshing and expressive gin that's sensational in a Martini or when topped up with your preferred tonic.
Fresh lemon lavender, ginger rosemary and even crisp apples from Sir Isaac Newton’s tree combine to produce an outstanding gin as floral as it is intense.

Elderflower Gin Liqueur is an elderflower liqueur that uses the internationally-award-winning Cambridge Dry Gin as its base and is inspired by the heavy, fragrant heads of elderflowers that bloom on the banks of the river Cam near our Distillery in Cambridge.

Anty gin, which is literally made with ants as a botanical, started as an idea from the Nordic Food Lab - an organisation run by Noma's Rene Redzepi and gastro-preneur Claus Meyer - and was brought to life by the Cambridge Distillery. This Anglo-Danish vegan nightmare contains the essence of precisely 62 ants, which add a citrus flavour to the gin and are used instead of the more traditional orange or lemon peel.
Although Anty gin is, perhaps unsurprisingly, the world's first gin made from ants, it is not the first time that ants have ever been distilled – centuries ago they were distilled to create formic acid, which is useful as a preservative and antibacterial agent.
Our Old Tom Gin features botanicals historically found in traditional Old Tom recipes dating back to the 1700s, including orange peel, liquorice and angelica root. Sweetened with a touch of sugar syrup, our Cotswolds Old Tom Gin is delicate and fragrant with notes of candied orange, light herbal notes and faint ginger spice and is delicious enjoyed either with tonic or in a Tom Collins cocktail.
A mellow, aromatic dry gin from Booth's that has been aged in casks that previously held Pedro Ximenez sherry. The palate offers notes of rosemary, grapefruit, camphor, lemon, chamomile and soft oak spice that linger in the finish.
Booth's was originally established in 1740 by the eponymous family who founded the first distillery in London. Their distinctively golden gin - instantly recognisable thanks to the octagonal bottles it was presented in - was discontinued in the 1970s, an event much lamented by gin connoisseurs.
A truly unique blend of the exotic and familiar this light, aromatic, extremely smooth gin will keep you coming back for more… London Dry in style and traditional in production, this is anything but ordinary!
Flavoured with botanicals synonymous with the Far East, expect refreshing citrusy lemongrass notes followed by a nutty, rounded finish. Extremely versatile, making a delicious G&T, cocktail or even neat on the rocks.
