Anty Gin 42%, 700ml

We've served Cambridge Gin in the bar of The Posh Off Licence, and as good as it tasted, I didn't really delve in to the company.

I still haven't, but I'm going to.

For now, let me tell you why. They sell the World's most expensive gin, Watenshi Gin, which carries a price tag of £3,000. That peaked some interest from me so after a little reading I was intrigued with a company that is more Heston Blumenthal and Nobu than gins on the supermarket shelves.

For now, here is the gin I've chosen to highlight, best served neat or if watered then use nettle cordial with soda not tonic, but hey, try it many ways.

Anty Gin is the world’s first insect-based gin. A collaboration with pioneers in Nordic cuisine to reinvent the gin experience for those bold enough to try something truly unique.

The red wood ant (Formica rufa) is a rich source of formic acid, and has a surprisingly tangy, citrus taste which perfectly complements wild botanicals including wood avens, nettle and alexanders seeds.

Each botanical is distilled individually to preserve its purity, then blended with the essence of sixty-two wood ants. The result is a ground-breaking gin brimming with sweet, woody spice and tingly lemongrass.

We love bringing you something different!
