Ashmolean Dry Gin
A collaboration between The Oxford Artisan Distillery and the world renowned Ashmolean Museum, one of Oxford’s most prestigious institutions. Founded in 1683, the Ashmolean’s world famous collections range from Egyptian mummies to contemporary art.
Inspired by the Museum's collections from around the world, this gin contains 17 botanicals including exotic jara lemon, rose, jasmine, and spices from the Middle East and Asia. Richly flavoured but still juniper-led, it also has exotic notes of cardamom and myrrh. The finish is clean with a persistent taste of orris and lemongrass.
Enjoy in a G&T with 1 part gin to 3 parts tonic - garnish with a slice of lemon or orange.
As with everything at The Oxford Artisan Distillery, the gin base is distilled from our ancient heritage grains, grown just for us within 50 miles of Oxford. Eschewing pesticides and chemical fertilisers all of our crops are grown sustainably, contributing to an abundance of wildflowers, insects and birds across our farms.
The bottle illustration is Spray of 'Morning Glory', by Takeuchi Seiho (1864 - 1942), part of the museum’s Eastern Art collection.
The distillery’s grain actually improves soil health in the English countryside - it is grown specifically for the distillery, making The Oxford Artisan Distillery the only distillery in the world with a license to use these strains of heritage grains, farmed exclusively for flavour and not volume of crop.
