Wrapped in an all-white elegance, is the star of the town, The Cambridge Distillery’s Watenshi Gin. Gin has always been very popular amongst alcoholic beverages. It is considered to be a mixture of two or more blessed spirits which are derived from the freshness of nature. Always being on the posh side, Gin tastes like heaven.

Watenshi Gin is one of the rarest and most expensive gins that ever existed. With the summer season’s retirement, we greet the winter season with a glass full of gin. The scorching season of beer is getting over and all our body needs right now is the deep warmth of Gin. Watenshi Gin fills this gap by giving you exactly what you want.

Only six bottles of 750ML are made per distillation. With an ABV (Alcohol by Volume) of 42.9%, Watenshi is made up of some of the rarest Japanese Elixirs that are used in alcoholic beverages such as Shiso leaf, Sesame seeds, Yuzu peel, Sansho pepper, Juniper, and Cucumber.

Watenshi literally means “Angel’s Share” in Japanese and this is surely one. The complex finish is extremely long and it constitutes a sweet, citric, and spicy taste. By just seeing the bottle, one can get the idea of how precious alcohol can be.

Costing around $6,000, Watenshi comes in a hand-blown body that is designed by Loris & Liva, accompanying pieces of jewellery by Antoine Sandoz. Did you ever wonder that Elegance, Richness & Luxury can be captured in a small bottle? Well, the answer is in front of you.

“Alcohol may be man’s worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy.” Said Frank Sinatra, and must we follow his words of wisdom!
