The Cambridge Distillery Watenshi Gin 700ml

he Cambridge Distillery 'Watenshi' Gin (meaning "The Angel's Share") is an ultra-exclusive luxury spirit produced by The Cambridge Distillery in Cambridge, England. Master Distiller William Lowe created this expression by using refined vacuum distillation techniques to capture the microscopic amount of alcohol that evaporates during the distillation of their acclaimed Cambridge Japanese Gin. Requiring fifty distillations to yield just one bottle, Watenshi captures volatile top notes of Japanese botanicals including yuzu peel, shiso leaf, sesame seeds, and sansho pepper, resulting in an exceptionally silky, complex, and sought-after gin.

Food Pairing: Fine sashimi (such as toro or yellowtail), fresh beluga caviar, wagyu beef carpaccio, and delicate seafood crudo.

Tasting Notes: Crystal clear in appearance with an extraordinarily rich, viscous, and velvet-like mouthfeel.

Nose: Remarkably intense and refined, opening with ethereal top notes of bright yuzu citrus, fresh minty shiso leaf, and sweet white peach, accompanied by subtle piney juniper, toasted sesame, and delicate floral blossoms.

Palate: Unsurpassed in depth and elegance, presenting layers of sweet citrus oils, complex umami notes, and warm sansho pepper spice, beautifully balanced by a gentle core of resinous juniper and earthy botanicals.

Finish: Exceptionally long, smooth, and lingering, with subtle mineral salinity, gentle citrus sweetness, and a soft, warm herbal trail.

Serve: Serve strictly neat or over a single hand-carved ice sphere in a fine crystal glass to fully appreciate its delicate and complex aromatic profile.
