Magdalene College Gin

The College has specially commissioned a single-batch copper still London-made artisan gin from our neighbours on Quayside, Cambridge Wine Merchants.

A lot of research (and tasting!) went into choosing the distiller. Meanwhile, our unique blend of botanicals, produced from the highest-quality, all natural ingredients, was selected by experts with decades of experience.

Distilled to a secret recipe using juniper, coriander, angelica, cassia bark, bitter orange peel, and just a touch of liquorice root, our gin has a flavour profile that is perfect for all occasions. Juniper and coriander are of course included, while angelica root gives a vermouth-like earthy bitterness. Cassia bark, while typically known for its cinnamon flavour, is more subtle when distilled, providing a spicy, exotic background. Bitter orange peel brings a muscular citrus note, much deeper than the fresh sweet orange or lemon peel used in many other gins. Finally, liquorice root offers a broad, warm bass-note and subtle anise/menthol lift to the final product.

Magdalene College Gin, 70cl, 42% abv: £35.00.

In combination, the selected botanicals produce a deep, intensely aromatic gin with many layers of complexity and a rich texture. Magdalene College Gin is beautifully presented in a heavy French glass bottle with a Vinilok glass stopper to seal in the freshness.

Magdalene College Gin is ideal for a traditional, simple G&T, or combined into your favourite cocktail. If you can bring yourself to part with a bottle, it would also make the perfect Christmas gift! Cheers!
