About York Minster Gin and York Gin
York Minster Gin is a collaboration between York Gin and the iconic gothic cathedral - the very symbol of York. A proportion of every sale goes back to the Minster to support its work and upkeep.
Made in York Gin’s sustainable distillery, this gin adds another line to York Minster’s incredible history which stretches back many centuries. The botanicals are vapour infused in a beautiful traditional copper still to ensure absolute consistency of taste.
The label has an illustration of the Minster’s West End - with the cat from York Gin’s logo sitting proudly on the building. The cat is one of York’s historic symbols - and cats have been associated with gin since the 18th Century.
