Something new has hit my mixology radar — and it’s just in time for Father’s Day, weddings, graduations, parties, and summer sipping. Given the hotter than usual weather that’s been occuring around the country (heck even Seattle was warmer last week than LA), it’s time to get SERIOUS about cocktails and what you are going to be drinking. Somestimes it’s too warm for whiskey, scotch or heavy beers. (though the double chocolate stout float and the Guiness ice cream float sound pretty darn good– those aren’t to everyone’s tastes)
For most of the population, gin is the quintessential hot-weather drink. With summer hitting right now, it’s time to start planning how you will be cooling down and kicking back over the next few months. OXLEY Gin has summer covered with a variety of refreshing, flavorful and balanced cocktails for any occasion.
How would you like to take it a step further and have small batch gin– with great quality control and special handling? Just like small batch whiskeys are taking over, Oxley Gin is sure to make a splash in your cocktail parties.
OXLEY is a revolutionary gin that combines a pioneering distillation process, Cold Distillation, with traditional handcrafted English gin-making methods to deliver a fresh, bright and intense gin. Each bottle of OXLEY is crafted from start to finish by hand in small batches, limiting the distillery to only 240 bottles per day.
To reflect the rarity of the brand, each bottle of OXLEY is individually numbered. The cork used is made from French Oak and the leather tie hanging from the bottle is only placed once the bottle has been approved in quality.
