Sky Wave Distillery, located in the heart of rural Oxfordshire, England, is a micro-distillery with a reputation for crafting premium-quality gin. Its inception is rooted in the passion of its founders, Rachel Hicks and Andy Parsons, both of whom have a shared love for gin and an adventurous spirit.
Before diving into the world of distilling, Rachel and Andy led diverse careers.
Andy has an experience of serving in the Royal Engineers, and it was during his time there that he cultivated a love for skydiving, which later became an inspiration for the distillery's name. The pair trained in gin production in the UK and honed their craft further by studying under master distillers in the heartland of gin - London.
Sky Wave Gin, their signature offering, is a testament to their dedication to quality and craftsmanship. Each batch is carefully distilled using a mix of traditional and innovative botanicals. The ingredients reflect both local influences, with Oxfordshire-grown botanicals, and global inspirations, bringing in flavours from their travels.
One of the standout features of Sky Wave Gin is its smoothness, making it versatile for various serves, whether it's a classic gin and tonic or a more intricate cocktail. As recognition for their dedication to quality, Sky Wave Gin has been the recipient of numerous awards, a testament to Rachel and Andy’s commitment to producing a superior gin.
