First Impressions
Cygnet is a luxury Welsh gin founded by Katherine Jenkins OBE, distilled at the historic Penderyn Copper Works in Swansea. Twelve botanicals including chamomile, pink grapefruit and four different citrus peels are distilled with the purest Welsh water.
Tasting
The nose is floral chamomile with fresh citrus peel — vibrant and bright. On the palate, smooth glossy mouthfeel with liquorice, juniper and coriander, bright citrus from lime and pink grapefruit. The finish is smooth and refreshing.
The Bottom Line
Cygnet earns a 7 for a luxury Welsh gin with genuine star power. The chamomile adds distinctive softness, and the four citrus peels create vibrant brightness. Best with light tonic to let the flavours breathe.
