CAMBRIDGE’S MASTER OF WINE

Co-founder of luxury local gin brand Cambridge Distillery, William Lowe, has recently become the first master distiller in the world to become a master of wine. The course requires hopefuls to complete a famously difficult series of examinations, and candidates must accurately assess 36 different wines in the space of three days, finishing with a 10,000-word research paper – which William seized as an opportunity to demonstrate that teaching someone to assess qualities in wines also improves their ability to discern quality in spirits, too. “I have always been quietly obsessed with quality in drinks: what makes one wine or spirit greater than another from an objective standpoint,” says William. “My intention with studying the MWwas simply to bring a new perspective to my approach in the distillery. “My aim is to use the insight I’ve gained through my MW studies to help others understand how to seek out and identify true quality in both wines and spirits.” William’s qualification has come at what is an especially innovative time for the business; Cambridge Distillery is releasing something brand new this month, as well as launching in markets in India, Singapore and Switzerland. Keep an eye on the Cambridge Distillery website and social media channels to be the first to hear. cambridgedistillery.co.uk
