Oxley launches first cold distilled gin

Oxley Dry Gin from Bacardi Global Travel Retail is an ultra-premium small batch gin distilled without the use of heat to preserve the fresh natural essences of the botanicals. The process, called cold distillation, lowers the pressure within the still, allowing distillation to take place at approximately -5ºC.

Oxley uses 14 botanicals including grapefruit, orange, and lemon, juniper and meadowsweet. The latter, rare to gins, benefits from the cold distillation and adds a rounded, almond flavour.

Only 240 bottles are produced each day, which are hand-bottled and finished with a leather tie.
Sampling of Oxley took place in London Heathrow Airport’s T3 and T5 prior to the brands global launch at TFWA in October.

RRP £39.99 for 1-litre at 47% abv.
