Oxley London Dry Gin

Oxley London Dry Gin is a 750mL English gin bottled at 47% ABV, made by cold distillation — a sub-zero vacuum process, invented in 2006 and perfected over eight years, in which the spirit boils at -5°C instead of the usual 78°C. Fourteen botanicals, including grapefruit, orange and lemon peel picked in Murcia, Spain, hand-peeled and frozen within 24 hours, are macerated and distilled cold so their freshness survives; every bottle is individually numbered. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The Gin That Never Gets Warm

Oxley's founders set out to capture nature's freshness by removing heat from gin-making entirely: no traditional heated still, but a vacuum chamber where reduced pressure drops the boiling point to -5°C, so delicate botanicals are never cooked. The citrus tells the story — grapefruit, orange and lemon handpicked in Murcia, hand-peeled and frozen within a day, where conventional gin uses dried peel. Eight years of work by a collective of scientists and distillers stands behind each small, numbered batch. Find it on the Oxley vendor page and in our gin collection.

Tasting Notes

Per the brand's notes: crisp and bright in the glass; a fresh, vibrant citrus aroma; clean, zesty flavour with gentle juniper underneath; and a sippably smooth finish — a gin built to be tasted, not just mixed.

How to Enjoy

Chilled neat or in a very dry Martini, where the cold-distilled citrus has nowhere to hide; it also makes a strikingly fresh Gin & Tonic. More English gin is across our spirits collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cold distillation?
Oxley's process reduces the pressure over the macerated botanicals until the spirit boils at -5°C rather than about 78°C, then condenses the vapour at -127°C — capturing fresh botanical flavour that a heated still would cook away.

What botanicals are in Oxley gin?
Fourteen in total; the brand names grapefruit, orange and lemon peel — fresh-frozen, never dried — plus juniper, coriander and nutmeg among them.

Is Oxley a London Dry Gin?
Yes — the brand's own FAQ confirms London Dry status, at 47% ABV, made in England in small, individually numbered batches.
