Martini Miller's

The project began in London (Notting Hill) in spring 1998, when Martin Miller and his partners wanted to create a modern, very balanced version of traditional gin. The recipe was developed around the idea of distilling two families of botanicals separately (the more earthy/juniper-forward ones and the citrus ones) and then recombining them, finally using Icelandic spring water to achieve softness and cleanness on the palate. Over time the brand expanded its offering with fuller expressions (Westbourne), seasonal gins and an aged expression (9 Moons).

A search for balance between juniper and citrus, the purity of water as a distinctive element, and a modern reinterpretation of the traditional distillation method to produce smooth, versatile gins suited both to neat drinking and cocktails.

Distillation and brand origin: England (London). Spring water and final proofing/finishing: Iceland (spring near Borgarnes).

The Original expression has received IWSC recognitions (e.g. Gold 2020 and Silver in subsequent editions) according to industry sources.
