Why Gifted Pour recommends it
Here is a gin for the friend who appreciates a bottle with a story in every sip. From Wales and made with 22 botanicals, including New Zealand Manuka honey, chamomile, bee pollen, pink grapefruit and sea salt, it pairs crisp juniper with soft honeyed florals rather than leaning hard on either. The nose opens with wildflower blossom, citrus zest and rose petals. The palate brings warm juniper, coriander spice and orris root, layered with vanilla and a touch of caramelized honey, while peppercorn heat keeps it lively. The finish is mellow and lingering. That balance makes it an easy gift to get right. The gin lover can sip it neat or over ice to enjoy its creamy mouthfeel, the host can build a bright G&T with grapefruit peel, and the cocktail tinkerer can reach for a Bee's Knees. It suits a housewarming, a thank-you for a garden-loving parent, or a spring birthday, and the honey thread running through it gives the gift a thoughtful, personal feel.

Questions about this bottle
What makes Cygnet 22 different from a classic dry gin?
It is distilled with 22 botanicals, including New Zealand Manuka honey, chamomile, bee pollen, pink grapefruit and sea salt. Crisp juniper is still there, but the honey and florals add a creamy texture and a smooth, honeyed finish that set it apart from a sharper, juniper-forward style.
Is this gin sweet?
It is balanced rather than sweet. Warm juniper, coriander spice, orris root, peppercorn heat and citrus brightness give it structure. Vanilla, chamomile and a touch of caramelized Manuka honey add softness, and the finish trails off with floral sweetness and warm spice.
How should I drink it?
Try it neat or over ice to appreciate the creamy mouthfeel and floral-honey finish. For a G&T, pair it with a premium tonic and garnish with a citrus wheel or grapefruit peel. It also works well in a Bee's Knees or a Chamomile Martini, which play up the honey depth.
What size is the bottle?
This bottle is 700 ml.
