In Good Spirits: Cambridge Distillery
Hosted by William Lowe MW, Alex Rushmer & Kiki Hopkins
Achieving Master of Wine status necessitates sacrifice, intellect, drive and a thick skin; to do so when you’ve already gained your Master Distiller wings suggests an individual of notable propulsion.
William Lowe MW completed the set in 2020 – becoming the first person to hold both – and he brings the same ‘no limits’ attitude to Cambridge Distillery which he founded with his wife, Lucy.
Renowned for using only fresh ingredients and treating each botanical delicately and individually, Lowe takes Kiki Hopkins around the Cambridge Gin Lab, unpacking the formulas and art behind premium gin production.
There’s time to concoct a distillate from a bunch of fresh lemon verbena leaves, before the pair sit down with chef Alex Rushmer and taste through a medley of Cambridge Distillery’s diverse creations.
