OUR STORY
WE COULDN’T FIND THE PERFECT GIN – SO WE MADE IT
Our boutique gin inspiration hit us when we were by the sea on our wedding anniversary. We blazed home with the idea of creating the perfect gin for us and immediately set to work. Rachel was driven by the idea of creating a genuine craft gin, with flavours inspired by our lives and experiences.
Both Rachel and Andy have lived lives full of adventure. Epic journeys through mountain, sky, desert and sea inspired the flavour profile of this outstanding gin. Some of the botanicals we use reflect these far-away, exotic places, and the name ‘Sky Wave’ is a fusion of the big skies and big waves that have characterised our adventures. ‘Sky Wave’ is also a term used in radio; in our former lives, we were respectively a BBC radio reporter and a Royal Signals Army Officer.
But although we love traveling the world, we also love our home in Oxfordshire. From our distillery we look out over the rolling Oxfordshire countryside, the essence of which we also wanted to incorporate into our spirit. Blackberries foraged from our village hedgerows make up one of our botanicals. A neighbour grows our raspberries. We use the finest local natural mineral water from Blenheim Palace, no less. Ours is a very personal gin; each bottle is hand-crafted and we hand-write the day’s distiller’s name on each one. Each comes distilled with total commitment to the art, crafted by passionate gin drinkers, for passionate gin drinkers.
