Tasting Notes

Nose

Dense pine leaves — fresh coriander, aromatic cardamom, toasted peppercorn, tangerine pulp, the rye base adding grainy warmth

Palate

Juniper-forward — bold pine and citrus, the rye spirit base providing distinctive body, liquorice and zesty orange rind, the twelve organic botanicals working in harmony, a gin of genuine academic precision from the city of dreaming spires

Finish

Spiced and citrusy — the organic rye base lingering, juniper authority, meadowsweet florals, the grain-to-glass provenance evident in the clean close

First Impressions

The Oxford Artisan Distillery became Britain's first certified organic grain-to-glass distillery. Local rye grown within 50 miles is distilled in handmade, purpose-built stills. Twelve botanicals including meadowsweet and cubeb alongside classics.
