Oxley's is designed, as the name suggests, in the classic dry English style and is very similar to a London dry gin, but this one has a unique characteristic. Oxley is produced using a distilling technique called "cold distillation," which is not commonly used in the industry. This process allows the botanicals of the gin to come through in a softer, more natural way, making this gin ideal for those who like a more delicate profile.
| Technical notes |
| To enhance the taste of Oxley Gin, only the freshest and finest botanical ingredients are selected to craft this pioneering spirit. Each of its 14 botanical ingredients including Juniper, citrus fruits, and Meadowsweet, is prepared, weighed and measured again by hand. Unlike other gins which typically use dried peels, Oxley uses fresh, hand-peeled citrus fruits. Juniper berries, an essential element of any gin recipe, release overly strong pine notes when exposed to prolong heat.
Through the use of sub-zero distillation temperatures, the problem is overcome and subtler aspects of the berries’ taste are retained. The final key ingredient is the English herb Meadowsweet, which is rare to gins, but also complementary and beneficial for Cold Distilled gin. Meadowsweet brings a rounded, almond flavor to Oxley and further harmonizes the botanicals in the spirit. |
