The Story
Sky Wave Gin is about carpe diem, seizing the moment, adventure and exhilaration. It is an ultra-premium gin, for the drinker who wishes to rise above the rest.

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 seven sublime gins and one non-alcoholic distilled sprit, which have won an incredible 39 international awards in just four 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™ – and limited editions have followed, all winning the highest international accolades.

Sky Wave Gin creates all its artisan gins by hand and with passion. Every stage of distillation, bottling and packaging is carried out in its boutique distillery, at the beautiful Bicester Heritage site in Oxfordshire, the home of historic motoring. The distillery, also has a shop, bar and visitor space offering weekly Distillery Experiences with Curated Gin Tastings.

Sky Wave Gin’s Master Distiller has also created a number of bespoke gins for other brands, including Blenheim Palace Signature London Dry, which is picking up its own medals in international spirits competitions.
