Cygnet 77 Cask-Aged Welsh Dry Gin is a rare, luxurious Welsh gin made for slow sipping built from the award-winning Cygnet 22 recipe and rested for 55 weeks in ex-Welsh whisky barrels with rich Manuka honey, bridging the character of fine whisky with the botanical beauty of premium gin. 88 proof (44% ABV).

Made with 22 botanicals including chamomile, heather, citrus peel, and bee pollen Cygnet 77 delivers depth and warmth plus a velvety sweetness while staying rooted in traditional juniper-forward purity. Opulent, refined, and contemplative, it is crafted not only to sip but to savour. The liquid shines a deep golden amber, more like a barrel-finished spirit than a clear gin, making it a standout on any bar cart and an easy gift.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Cygnet 77 meant for cocktails or sipping?

It’s designed as a sipping gin. The 55-week rest in Welsh whisky barrels with Manuka honey gives it a richer, warmer profile than many Welsh gins, though it can still make a standout spirit-forward cocktail.

What makes it a cask-aged gin?

It’s matured for 55 weeks in ex-Welsh whisky barrels with Manuka honey. That barrel time adds oak warmth and a deeper color while keeping the classic juniper-led structure of a Welsh dry gin.

How is it different from a regular Welsh dry gin?

A classic Welsh dry gin is often brighter and more citrus-forward. Cygnet 77 keeps the juniper purity but adds whisky-cask depth and a velvety Manuka-honey sweetness, alongside its 22 botanicals.
