Cambridge Distillery Curator’s Gin

Cambridge Distillery’s Curator’s Gin is created in partnership with Cambridge University Botanic Garden. Having been awarded three consecutive times as the most innovative distillery in the world, Cambridge Distillery was thrilled to be offered unprecedented access to Cambridge University Botanic Garden’s extensive collections. Under the watchful eye of Sam Brockington, the Garden’s Curator, they hand-picked these extraordinary botanicals and cycled them back to their distillery within minutes of harvesting, using their pioneering novo-dimensional distillation matrix to preserve absolute purity of freshness and flavour. Their Master Distiller William Lowe then expertly blended these individual elements into Curator’s Gin: a truly outstanding spirit with a herbaceous, floral profile. Curator’s Gin is available as an experimental batch of just 600 bottles.

Walks through the meadows surrounding Cambridge inspired William and Lucy Lowe to create gins that capture the taste of the English seasons using botanicals grown in and around their home. They founded Cambridge distillery on the principle that no two botanicals are identical and as such, they need to be treated individually. To achieve this, they developed a unique novo-dimensional distillation matrix in which temperature, timing and pressure are just three of the nine variables that they use to tailor the treatment of each botanical. This means they can distil the freshest and most delicate botanicals and achieve a level of precision vastly beyond that of traditional distillation.
