This Ginuary, the UK’s leading producer of Wagyu beef, Warrendale Wagyu is launching the next phase of its journey with the UK’s first bottled fat washed gin.
At 44%, WA-GYN is a new premium spirit that is now available to purchase online and is set to change the landscape of savoury gins as the first fat washed gin on the market within the UK.
With comforting umami aromas, the overriding taste is juniper, which is complimented by bright bursts of ruby grapefruit, lemon grass and warming pink peppercorn.
Triple filtered, the gin is washed with molten Wagyu fat for 48 hours on one of their Wagyu farms in Lancashire to provide a smooth yet luxurious taste that comes alive when paired with tonic water.
For those avoiding Veganuary, WA-GYN pairs perfectly with a Wagyu steak – the team at Warrendale recommend a sirloin or ribeye to compliment the flavours.
Warrendale Wagyu was founded in Yorkshire in 2017 and produces the highest quality, sustainably sourced meat that is well looked after. The team has partnerships with over 750 farmers across the UK to cross full blood Wagyu genetics to produce a cross dairy cattle breed known as F1 Wagyu.
Tom Richardson, Managing Director of Warrendale Wagyu commented: “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 celebrating Ginuary or that enjoy gin in general, this needs to be added to your list as it will leave you impressed with the luxurious taste.”
Warrendale Wagyu’s WA-GYN is available exclusively to purchase online at £30 for a 20cl bottle or £55 for a 70cl bottle here: https://warrendale-wagyu.co.
