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.
Clouded Leopard gin supports the Born Free Foundation, which works to protect both wild leopards under threat from human pressures and habitat loss and captive leopards from suffering and exploitation in zoos and circuses.
