Distillation and production
Production method
Six-step process: selection of botanicals; maceration of the botanicals in neutral spirit with heating and overnight rest; distillation in copper pot stills (Angela and Jenny), collecting only the 'heart' fraction (about 3–4 hours of distillation); blending of the two distillates; 'marriage' and dilution from 80% vol. to 40% vol. with water; bottling. The Premium Pink version additionally involves a bespoke blending step, the addition of natural grapefruit aroma, coloring and a small amount of sugar.

Producer history Bickens
Bickens was launched in 2012 as a modern interpretation of London Dry Gin. The brand emphasizes the combination of two recipes/distillates produced in pot stills of different ages (named 'Angela' and 'Jenny') and leverages the expertise of Langley Distillery, a historic English distillery founded in 1805, where the distillates that make up the final blend are produced.
Production philosophy
Designed for professional mixing, Bickens focuses on balance and versatility: a profile that combines citrus freshness and spicy notes to provide a base suitable for both classic cocktails and bartenders' creations.
Territory
Distilled and produced in the United Kingdom at Langley Distillery, located near Birmingham (West Midlands).
