About the product
Cygnet 22 is an ultra-premium Welsh dry gin crafted from a carefully balanced blend of 22 botanicals and pure Welsh water. Distilled at Copperworks Distillery near Swansea, the gin combines prominent juniper with chamomile, citrus, floral botanicals, spices, bee pollen and Manuka honey. The Manuka honey is distilled into the spirit to provide a remarkably smooth, velvety texture without making the gin sweet. At 44% ABV, Cygnet 22 is designed to be enjoyed both neat and in sophisticated cocktails.

Taste Notes
Cygnet 22 opens with an elegant floral and meadow-like nose, followed by a prominent juniper character. Chamomile brings gentle herbal softness, while citrus peels, coriander and warm spices add brightness and complexity. Bee pollen and Manuka honey contribute subtle vanilla-like, honeyed and rounded notes. The finish is exceptionally smooth, silky and lingering, with juniper, herbal spice and delicate floral characteristics.
Food Pairings
Cygnet 22 pairs particularly well with fresh seafood, oysters, grilled fish, sushi, light salads, goat cheese, soft cheeses, citrus-forward dishes and delicate poultry preparations. Its floral and herbal character also works beautifully with desserts featuring honey, citrus or stone fruit.
