Hump Day Cocktailing – Cygnet Welsh Dry Gin: The Award-Winning Spirit Soaring from Wales to the U.S. #fitfam
Move over, London Dry Gin—there’s a new contender in town, and it’s making waves across the Atlantic. Introducing Cygnet Welsh Dry Gin, an award-winning spirit that launched in the UK in late 2023 and is now making its debut in the United States. Crafted in the heart of Wales by mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins OBE and her husband, artist Andrew Levitas, Cygnet is redefining luxury gin with its exceptional quality and sustainable ethos.
A Symphony of Botanicals
Cygnet Welsh Dry Gin is distilled using the purest Welsh water and a meticulously selected blend of 12 botanicals, including juniper, coriander, angelica root, orris root, cardamom, lime peel, liquorice, orange peel, chamomile flower, lemon peel, and pink grapefruit. This harmonious combination results in a vibrant gin that offers waves of bright juniper, bold citrus notes from fresh lime and pink grapefruit, and subtle floral undertones, culminating in a soft, moreish finish.
Award-Winning Excellence
Since its inception, Cygnet has garnered numerous accolades, solidifying its position as a top-tier gin:
- Gold Award at the International Wine & Spirits Competition (IWSC) 2023
- Masters Award at The Spirits Business Luxury Masters 2024
- Best Glass Design at the World Beverage Innovation Awards 2023
- Signature Botanicals Gold at the World Gin Awards 2024
These prestigious honors highlight Cygnet’s commitment to quality and innovation in the world of spirits.
Sustainable Luxury
Cygnet is not just about exceptional taste; it’s also about making a positive impact on the environment. The brand collaborates with designer Eric Villency to create elegant glass packaging that reduces carbon footprint. Both the Cygnet Welsh Dry Gin and Cygnet 22 bottles are plastic-free, featuring biodegradable wood pulp seals sourced in Wales. The labels are screen-printed using organic ink, and all botanicals are responsibly sourced, reflecting Cygnet’s dedication to sustainability.
