This gin is produced by a "cold distillation technique", which is very unusual.
In a normal gin distillation, the botanicals have to be brought to about 78°C
until they start boiling and release all their flavours. Cold distillation, also
known as vacuum distillation, creates a vacuum so that the botanicals come to
the boil at 25-40°C. Thus the botanicals remain intact and only the alcohol is
distilled. Oxley is distilled at -5 °C - which is extremely low even with
vacuum distillation. But this is exactly what makes this gin special. For eight
years scientists worked on this method until it was ready for use. In 2009, this
gin was first brought to market by the owner Bacardi.This gin is only produced
in small batches. 14 different botanicals, including juniper grapefruit, lemons,
vanilla, aniseed, liquorice roots, cocoa, nutmeg and coriander are used for the
production.
The bottle design is also simple and elegant at the same time. The elongated
bottle is spiced up with a green leather strap that is tied around the bottle.
The bottle stands with up to the lower third in a small silver container.
