A decadent Gin made with some of the most valuable botanicals on earth, including rare white truffles.

Cambridge Distillery was founded in 2011 by William and Lucy Lowe. Their stated objective was to "… capture the taste of the English seasons using botanicals grown in and around their home" in Cambridge, UK. And while there are many fine Gin products being produced these days, the laser-like focus of Cambridge Distillery is on ultra-premium Spirit production using extreme precision and some of the finest ingredients possible. Their showroom distillery looks more like a laboratory with beakers and equipment to test every step in the process and has earned them the distinction of "Most Innovative Distillery in the World" three times over, among other notable awards and distinctions.

Cambridge Distillery Truffle Gin is just as the name implies. In addition to the traditional London Dry botanicals of juniper, angelica, etc., this exceptional Gin is made using one of the rarest and most expensive botanicals in the world — white truffle from Piedmont, Italy. In fact, these rare white truffles cost more than gold pound-for-pound. The result is a rich and earthy flavor profile over a decadent mouth feel that one normally associates with a fine, aged Spirit. The distillery calls this Spirit the world’s first Gin digestif.

Appearance / Color
Clear

Nose / Aroma / Smell
The aroma is herbal and alive with notes of Za’Atar, menthol, citrus zest, and a meadow after a fresh rain.

Flavor / Taste / Palate
Juniper and resin meet the tongue first, followed by black pepper and a distant floral note.

Finish
The finish is very long for a Gin with a melange of lingering herbs.

Superb, this is the perfect gin for dark spirit lovers, the depth of flavour and the sheer length of forest floor notes from this exceptional liquid. It is no wonder the recipe is a secret.

It’s a nice gin to have for some variety, but the truffle sensation is less prevalent than in another truffle gin I’ve tried (an Italian brand). The Italian one combines both black and white truffles while the Cambridge is exclusively from white truffles that are somewhat more delicate in aroma and taste. For someone who wants the full oomph of truffles, this gin was a little too much on the light side. But for someone who prefers one not so in-your-face, this can be a nice drink. I find it somewhat high priced for what it is (around double the Italian gin).
