Cream gin
Online retailer Master of Malt has partnered with Fluid Movement, owners of the popular London cocktail bars The Worship Street Whistling Shop, Purl, and Dach & Sons, to produce a 40% abv gin made with cold-distilled cream. Cream gin was a staple of the gin palaces of the Victorian era, and at the time was a mixture of gin, cream and sugar stored in a barrel to soften the harshness of the spirit.
Modernising the production method, Master of Malt’s effort, which includes fresh cream, is macerated with a citrus-forward gin then cold distilled to produce a spirit with a “full mouthfeel and strong notes of dairy and vanilla” that forms the base of Worship Street Whistling Shop’s signature cocktail, the Black Cat’s Martini.
