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.
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.
Lovingly and painstakingly distilled just one litre at a time, Cambridge Distillery based this gin on the most incredible white truffle from Alba that they could source. This wonderfully decadent delight makes a spectacular digestif.

Cambridge Distillery's Anty Gin is the result of a collaboration with the visionary thinkers of the Nordic Food Lab, and is the very first gin in the world to be made from insects. Each bottle of Anty Gin contains the essence of approximately 62 red wood ants, along with hand-foraged botanicals including juniper, wild wood avens and nettle that complement the sharp citrus notes created by distilling the ants.
A 5cl dropper bottle of pure ant distillate is also provided for you to experience the unique flavour of the Formica rufa in isolation - or to intensify the citrus notes in an Anty Gin & Tonic.
