Cygnet Dry Gin Distilled with Manuka Honey
Cygnet Dry Gin Distilled with Manuka Honey, known as Cygnet 22, is a hand-crafted Welsh dry gin distilled at the Penderyn Copperworks Distillery in Swansea, Wales, with 22 botanicals including New Zealand Manuka honey, bee pollen, chamomile, pink grapefruit and sea salt. The bottle itself is etched 44% VOL, 70cl, and that tall, slender decanter-style bottle makes it a statement piece on any bar shelf.

A Welsh Dry Gin with a Honeyed Texture
Cygnet keeps the crisp, juniper-forward structure of a classic dry gin, then layers in the ingredients that soothe as much as they flavor: Manuka honey, chamomile and bee pollen give it a creamy, rounded mouthfeel that most dry gins never reach, while pink grapefruit keeps it bright and a touch of sea salt snaps the finish clean. It is elegant neat and versatile in cocktails. Explore more gin at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
The nose is bright juniper with soft honeyed florals and a lift of pink grapefruit. The palate is clean and modern, creamy Manuka honey texture over chamomile softness and subtle bee pollen richness, and the finish is smooth and refined with a light sea-salt snap and lingering citrus brightness.
How to Enjoy
Stir it into a dry Martini to let the botanicals lead, pour a classic gin and tonic over plenty of ice with a grapefruit twist, or sip it neat or on a rock when you want the full botanical blend and creamy finish.
