A brilliant experience. Loved the gin tasting with very generous portions. Helen was very knowledgeable and a great storyteller. A special treat to meet Rachel as well. A very special event.

Written by the company
Bicester's first and only artisan gin distillery, producing fabulously smooth, delicious, hand-crafted London Dry gin. Home of many award-winning gins, including The World’s Best Contemporary Gin 2020 - our award count from International competitions currently stands at 87! Unable to find their perfect gin, founders Rachel Hicks and Andrew Parsons seized the moment and created their own – to reflect the adventures they have had travelling through skies and over waves to far flung corners of the globe. The result is a range of sublime gins which have won an incredible number of international awards in just three short years. The first, Sky Wave Signature London Dry, was launched in 2018 and was subsequently named The World’s Best Contemporary Gin at The World Gin Awards. Other gins followed, including a second London Dry, Sky Wave Liberation Gin, which was awarded a Gold Medal at the World Gin Awards. A selective range of fruit gins, also dry, never cloyingly sweet – Fruit Gin for Grown Ups™ - vodkas and even an alcohol free distilled spirit have followed, all winning the highest international accolades

This company is a pleasure to deal with..The delivery is prompt and well packaged. I love this gin it is superb I just have it with ordinary Fever Tree tonic don't mess with other flavourings as that will spoil it. Keep up the good work and Thankyou You will not be disappointed.

Thank you for your wonderful review Lizzy. May we also recommend trying it with Navas tonic, which elevates the gin even further!

Wow, great gin.
Wow, a new gin for my wife and I and what a beauty it is too. We ordered a bottle each of the London dry gin. The flavour balance is similar, but not the same and they both drank superbly well (a bit too well if truth be told). Added to our “favourites” list.
