From the chaps themselves:-
Our Ashmolean Dry Gin is a collaboration between The Oxford Artisan Distillery and the Ashmolean Museum, the University of Oxford's Museum of Art and Archaeology and one of Oxford’s most prestigious institutions. Founded in 1683, the Ashmolean’s world famous collections range from Egyptian mummies to contemporary art, telling human stories across cultures and across time. This spirit is inspired by the Museum's collections from around the world and is crafted with 17 botanicals including exotic jara lemon, rose, jasmine, and spices from the Middle East and Asia. Full tasting and juniper-led, with notes of cardamom and myrrh, the finish is clean with a lingering taste of orris and lemongrass. This is a spirit to savour in a G&T with 1 part gin to 3 parts light tonic, and garnished with a slice of jara 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.£37.95
Strikingly smooth to taste and beautiful to behold in its iconic Bristol-blue glass bottle, this original, multi-award-winning 6 O’clock Gin was born in 2010, perfected from an old family gin recipe.
It has a soft and citrusy flavour, led by juniper, carefully balanced with coriander seed, angelica root, orris root, winter savory, elderflower and orange peel, all lovingly distilled for a deeply-delicious taste experience.

Cotswolds Dry Gin Essence is made using 10x the botanical concentration of the award-winning Cotswolds Dry Gin. This adds up to a truly enormous amount of flavour per unit of alcohol which means you can use it to make a lighter & deliciously refreshing G&T with all of the flavour and 90% less alcohol than a standard 50ml serve. Each 5ml serve of essence contains just 0.23 units of alcohol and 14 calories. One bottle makes a total of 20 G&Ts. Simply add 5ml (5 pipettes or 1 teaspoon) of Cotswolds Dry Gin Essence to 200ml of your favourite tonic water and garnish with a slice of fresh pink grapefruit and a bay leaf.
