First Impressions
Sky Wave Raspberry & Rhubarb uses homegrown Oxfordshire rhubarb and ripe raspberries — at a proper 42%, with no colouring, sugars or preservatives added. From the distillery behind the World's Best Contemporary London Dry, it is a proper dry fruit gin.
Tasting
The nose shows pleasant summer fruit — natural rather than artificial. On the palate, fruity burst full of flavour yet fresh and light, retaining Sky Wave signature complexity with delicate summer fruit overtone. The finish is smooth and long.
The Bottom Line
Sky Wave Raspberry & Rhubarb earns a 7 for a fruit gin from a World's Best distillery. The 42% and zero-additive commitment ensure this is proper dry gin with fruit, not fruit cordial with gin. Blenheim Palace spring water and Oxfordshire-grown fruit — genuine provenance.
