Created by Katherine Jenkins OBE with Welsh distillers Chris and Aster Sadler, it combines a juniper-led profile with floral notes and a notably velvety texture. It is a gin designed to invite a small neat pour as well as a carefully made Martini.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts 22-botanical recipe is distilled with pure Welsh water. Manuka honey goes into the still alongside the other ingredients, contributing texture rather than turning the finished spirit into a sweet honey liqueur. Juniper, chamomile, citrus peels and warming spices form part of the broader recipe, giving the gin a layered character while retaining a clear dry-gin identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottled at 44% ABV, Cygnet 22 balances aromatic detail with enough presence for a spirit-forward cocktail. The distinctive Eirlys glass decanter complements that approach: a bottle intended to be kept and enjoyed beyond its first use, with a slender silhouette that makes it a striking addition to a home bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blossom and meadow flowers introduce a delicate floral character.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Juniper leads, followed by gentle chamomile and a caramelized-honey note.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and velvety, with a lingering silky texture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Makes It Special\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e22-botanical recipe:\u003c\/strong\u003e A layered expression built around juniper, flowers, citrus and spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManuka honey in distillation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Included for the rounded mouthfeel rather than added sweetness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWelsh provenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Distilled in Wales with pure Welsh water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCreated for sipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e A gin that invites tasting neat before adding tonic or vermouth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEirlys decanter:\u003c\/strong\u003e A distinctive glass presentation designed to be retained and reused.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Enjoy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart with a small neat pour to explore the contrast between floral aromas, juniper and texture. If you prefer a chilled serve, pour over a large ice cube and take your time as it gradually dilutes. Use a clean glass and keep any garnish restrained when tasting the gin on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a Martini, stir with dry vermouth over ice, strain into a chilled glass and finish with a lemon twist. Adjust the vermouth to your preference. It also works in a simple gin and tonic; a light tonic and a small citrus garnish let the gin remain the focus. As pairing suggestions, try lightly salted nuts, olives or a delicate seafood starter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.
