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

Thank you so much Jeremy, we're delighted we hit the spot for you.
Wow. I love Sky Wave!
Wow. All I can say is wow!! Just had the most wonderful afternoon at Sky Wave distillery hosted by Helen who was utterly outstanding. She made the whole process really interesting and was able to answer all the questions about the process of gin making. The tasting session was so much fun and I am now a gin convert after never having drunk gin in the past. Even bought a bottle of Sky Wave gin as the taste was just superb! Highly recommended experience

A great experience not to be missed
Very Informative and made great fun by the lovely Helen. We went on a dreary Saturday afternoon and it really made our week-end, I could actually taste the ingredients that went in to make the Gin unlike some other brands! Sky Wave Gin from here on total converts.
