Enjoy a great, full-flavoured gin that leads with a big hit of classic juniper, followed by a bright, zingy kick of fresh lemon zest, before opening out to the fruity notes of tropical mango, balanced by the fragrant spice of black pepper.
Our artisan gin is available to buy now, directly from our web shop.
Clouded Leopard is produced from British wheat spirit using one-shot distillation on 30-litre copper pot stills. The botanicals – juniper berries, coriander seeds, angelica root, cassia bark, mango, black pepper and lemon zest – are macerated for 24 hours before distillation. Dilution is with water purified by reverse osmosis.
TASTING NOTES
A classic London Dry juniper at the start, bright lemon-zest citrus notes through the middle, and a tropical mango and fragrant black pepper finish.

Clouded Leopard gin, launched in 2019, is the brainchild of chef and gastropub owner Will Phillips, who set about creating his own gin brand in honour and support of the clouded leopard, a beautiful and elusive animal in grave danger of extinction and rarely seen in the wild. As a lover of both gin and wildlife – in particular cats, big and small – Will was inspired to use his expertise in combining delectable tastes to create this premium full-flavoured gin, while helping to save a magnificent animal.
Slice of lemon, or slice of fresh mango (skin on) and black peppercorns, to garnish
For the perfect serve, pour Clouded Leopard gin with Fever-Tree Premium Indian Tonic Water over ice. Garnish with a slice of lemon or, for more impact, a slice of mango and a crack of black pepper.

‘The clouded leopard is a beautiful and elusive animal with huge paws and a chunky long tail that makes him a great climber of trees. I really want to help save this fantastic animal in its natural habitat, and riding the crest of the gin wave seems like an ideal place to start.’
Will Phillips, the creator of Clouded Leopard Gin, has announced the opening of his new resturant called 'The Priory', which will be located in Christchurch, UK.
Since 1996, Born Free has worked with the Shamwari Private Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, to rehome leopards and lions rescued from zoos, circuses and other captive environments.
