WA-GYN is the only wagyu beef fat-washed gin on the market in the UK. With aromas of juniper, ruby grapefruit, lemongrass and pink peppercorn, the gin is washed with British Wagyu fat for 48 hours before being triple filtered for a luxurious mouthfeel. Managing director, Tom Richardson, says, “We strive to be at the forefront of innovation, which is why we have launched the first fat-washed gin available in the UK. With the past year seeing great success for the business, it seemed right for us to expand our use of wagyu into new areas. “Whilst it is uncommon for gin to be fat washed, we spotted a gap in the market and have carefully combined juniper with flavoursome fruits and herbs to create a drink that tastes fantastic. For those that enjoy gin, this needs to be added to your list as it will leave you impressed with the luxurious taste.” warrendale-wagyu.co.uk New sweet sauces from Hawkshead Relish Hawkshead Relish, best known for its savoury sauces, pickles, relishes and chutneys has recently released a decadent range of modern dessert sauces, designed to be the perfect partner for ice cream, pancakes, waffles, yoghurt and fresh fruit .
