A Note From Our Founder, Katherine Jenkins

Being a professional music artist, I know that passion, perfection and dedication are what you need to create a memorable performance. And so I have crafted my Cygnet Gin in the same way that I have approached my singing career, with the deepest respect for my audience, striving for a ‘best in glass’ experience that reflects all the values I hold close to my heart.

Made near my childhood home in Wales, Cygnet Gin combines the finest local botanicals with the purest Welsh water, and being surrounded by the nature and beauty of the valleys, a whole lot of ‘Hwyl!’ (an ecstatic feeling of inspiration unique to Wales). I’ve also included my ‘secret ingredient’ in Cygnet 22, Manuka Honey, which I use to take care, not only of my voice, but myself and my children. All of this results in a luxury gin that is so smooth you can sip it on its own.

Inspired by the sisterhood of gin drinkers and with them in mind every step of the way, our female-founded, female-led company is wholly committed to sustainability. Having been a supporter of the conservation world for many years, my gin comes with a forever promise to walk the walk and this is reflected in our brand ethos. The graceful and elegant bottle is not only beautiful but also lighter in weight, which helps offset its carbon footprint. The exquisite water drop design of the glass, inspired by clear Welsh water, makes a beautiful vase you can use long after the last drop of gin is enjoyed.

I cherish the people that are close to me. Cygnet Gin elevates life’s successes, those precious times with family and moments enjoyed with friends. It’s a shared connection, a bond and a way to celebrate life. Put simply, it’s your time to pause and enjoy the moment because you deserve the best.

Cygnet Welsh Dry Gin

Cygnet Welsh Dry Gin is distilled using the purest Welsh water and a blend of 12 botanicals. This creates a truly vibrant gin.

On the palette there are waves of vibrant juniper, with bold supporting citrus notes from fresh lime and pink grapefruit. The subtle floral notes produce a soft, moreish finish.

Mor hyfryd a Cymru.

Cygnet 22 Gin

*Signature Botanicals Gold, The World Gin Awards 2024*

Cygnet 22 is distilled with a balanced blend of 22 botanicals, including chamomile, bee pollen, and Manuka honey.

The nose is evocative of blossom and the rolling valley meadows. Prominent juniper on the palette blends beautifully with gentle chamomile and caramelised honey. The Manuka honey results in a soft smooth finish that ensures Cygnet 22 can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks.

Food and Drink Awards Wales: Sustainable Business of the Year 2022

We love Gower and we try everything we can to protect the environment. Sustainability governs all the decisions we make and we are constantly reviewing our processes.

All of our packaging is recycled and recyclable and we have eliminated plastic in all packing.

We forage for botanicals using the Foraging Code as this helps keep Gower special for everyone. Our base grain spirit is Soil Association organic, our rum is Fair Trade and organic and we buy local and ethically sourced botanicals where possible.

We sell our gin in both bottles (now with 65% recycled content and significantly lighter in weight) and eco-pouches; both glass bottles and the pouches are recyclable, and if you live in Swansea the bottles can also be refilled in Cheers Wine Merchants in the Mumbles – they are just two different ways of ensuring a circular loop is created for re-using and recycling raw materials to ensure as much re-use as possible, reducing the pressure on obtaining new natural materials. We know also that many of our gin fans like to up-cycle our bottles into lights, candles, vases and even bird feeders.

We were delighted with being Highly Commended for Environmental Sustainability in Gin Guide Awards 2021 and winning Sustainable Business of the year in the Food and Drinks Awards Wales 2022.
