Cygnet Gin is produced in Swansea, with a recipe inspired in part by the attempt to cure cholera by two local folks in the mid-1800s. Master distiller Dai Wakely uses a selection of botanicals from all over the world (which is rather apt, considering Swansea's history as a port for incoming good from across the globe), including juniper, lemon peel, lime peel, pink grapefruit peel, orange peel, liquorice root, orris root, coriander seed, angelica root, cardamom seed, almond and chamomile.
Floral at first, with chamomile playing a big part on the nose. Fresh citrus peel give it a vibrant palate, joined by a bite of juniper and coriander spice.

I can’t believe that this Gin is so good! Wowzer! Absolutely increadible! Please get back in stock!!!! I can’t find this!
My first purchase, but definitely not the last! My gin game has stepped up another level!
Absolutely love this, such a great find by my husband. The Cygnet 22 is on my Xmas wishlist
The only gin to add to my favourite tonic water.
A very nice gin that allows the flavours of the citrus fruits to come through and finishes with the taste of liquorice and coriander. Will definitely have again. Thanks Julie for the gift. X
