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.

Walks with Darcy (the distillery dog) through the meadows surrounding their distillery inspired William and Lucy Lowe to capture the taste of the English seasons. Using botanicals grown in and around their own home they created a recipe including juniper, fresh basil, rosemary, angelica, lemon verbena, blackcurrant leaf and rose petals, each individually distilled and expertly blended into this outstanding gin. Bright, herbaceous, beautifully rounded and exquisitely refreshing, this gin captures the quintessential taste of the English seasons.
