Written by the company
Bicester's first and only artisan gin distillery, producing fabulously smooth, delicious, hand-crafted London Dry gin. Home of many award-winning gins, including The World’s Best Contemporary Gin 2020 - our award count from International competitions currently stands at 87! Unable to find their perfect gin, founders Rachel Hicks and Andrew Parsons seized the moment and created their own – to reflect the adventures they have had travelling through skies and over waves to far flung corners of the globe. The result is a range of sublime gins which have won an incredible number of international awards in just three short years. The first, Sky Wave Signature London Dry, was launched in 2018 and was subsequently named The World’s Best Contemporary Gin at The World Gin Awards. Other gins followed, including a second London Dry, Sky Wave Liberation Gin, which was awarded a Gold Medal at the World Gin Awards. A selective range of fruit gins, also dry, never cloyingly sweet – Fruit Gin for Grown Ups™ - vodkas and even an alcohol free distilled spirit have followed, all winning the highest international accolades

5 star gin that is smooth and great flavour
I have been to the gin experience at Skywave and also on this occasion I went too but the dry london gin. Now normally I would always by a sweet pink or flavoured gin but I am converted I absolutely love skywave gin with a slice of grapefruit and ginger ale as I am not a lover of tonic I can highly recommend this gin it’s smooth and has some many different tones too it. Looking forward too the new gin bar opening

Hi Susan, thanks so much for your support and wonderful review.
The Sky Wave Gin
The Gin is one of the best I have tasted, the London Dry is good the Old Tom even better, worth £70 per litre as a treat.

Thank you for your great review Julia.
Amended review as all problems sorted
It would have been nice to have been sent a proper E voucher as I wanted to give the experience as a present.
The member of staff I spoke to was a little offhand about the fact this wasn’t available.
After this review Sky Wave contacted me to let me know the ordering system had been amended and E vouchers arrived two days later

Hi Sarah, we're so sorry you didn't have a good experience. E-vouchers certainly are available, we don't know why you were told that they are not. We'd be grateful if you could call again so that we can find out why you were told this, and see how we can make it up to you.
Super speedy delivery and a superb gin.

Slight difficulty ordering owing to the Ts&Cs, but overcame that. Gin came quickly and was beautifully packed in recyclable packaging. Haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure it will be delicious.
