The story
The Oxley project began as an internal experiment from 2006 and, after years of development (the team reports roughly eight years and numerous recipes tested), the gin was released to the public around 2009. The brand’s history is linked to production in the United Kingdom and is marked by the innovation of the cold distillation method.
Production philosophy
Recreating the natural freshness of ingredients using technology to preserve their aromas. Oxley focuses on innovation (cold/vacuum distillation) and small-batch production to achieve a vivid aromatic profile and a sippably smooth texture.
Territory
Produced in England; production is linked to the Thames Distillery (Clapham, London area). The brand is reported in trade sources as associated with the Bacardi Ltd group.
Production method
Maceration of botanicals with neutral spirit for about 15 hours; manual transfer of the mixture into the still and distillation under vacuum conditions allowing boiling at sub-zero temperatures (around -5°C). Vapour is condensed at very low temperatures (brand reports indicative values for the condenser). Oxley uses fresh citrus peels, hand-peeled and frozen within 24 hours (supplied, according to the producer, from the Murcia region of Spain). Small-batch production with numbered bottles.
Distillation
Cold/vacuum distillation. Maceration ~15 hours; distillation at sub-zero temperatures (around -5°C) and condensation at very low temperatures to preserve the aromas of fresh ingredients.
