WA-GYN is a new savoury gin that is now available to purchase online for £30.

Triple filtered, the gin is washed with molten Wagyu fat for 48 hours on one of the company’s Wagyu farms in Lancashire to provide a smooth taste that is said to ‘come alive’ when paired with tonic water.

"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."

Warrendale Wagyu was founded near Pocklington in 2017 after a visit to Australia, where the quality of Wagyu was experienced.
