The Cambridge Gin Laboratory is an innovative and interactive space dedicated to the exploration and appreciation of gin, nestled in the heart of Cambridge, England.
It is an extension of the renowned Cambridge Distillery, a pioneer in the craft gin movement. Founded by William and Lucy Lowe in 2012, Cambridge Distillery has garnered acclaim for its meticulous approach to gin production, incorporating seasonal botanicals and pioneering techniques. Their passion for quality and innovation led to the establishment of the Cambridge Gin Laboratory in 2015.
The Cambridge Gin Laboratory was conceived as a way to bring the distillery's expertise and creativity directly to the public. It offers a unique educational experience, allowing visitors to delve into the science and art of gin making. The laboratory comprises several sections: the Classroom, the Blend Your Own Gin area, the Tasting Room, and the Shop. Each space is designed to provide a hands-on, immersive experience.
In the Classroom, visitors can attend guided sessions that explore the history of gin, its various styles, and the complex processes involved in its production. The Blend Your Own Gin area is particularly popular, giving participants the opportunity to create their personalised gin blend under expert guidance. This interactive approach not only educates but also empowers gin enthusiasts to understand and appreciate the nuances of gin production.
The Tasting Room offers curated tasting sessions, showcasing a range of gins produced by Cambridge Distillery. This space allows visitors to experience the distillery's innovative spirit firsthand, with offerings such as the unique Anty Gin and the world's first Japanese Gin, which incorporates traditional Japanese botanicals.
