Possibly one of the most complex gins to ever grace our range. Physic Gin is a collaboration between the eco-friendly folks at The Oxford Artisan Distillery and the University of Oxford’s Botanic Garden. The latter is the oldest of its kind in the country and it was planted during the 1640s by Jacob Bobart the Elder as a physic garden for teaching herbal medicine it contains a dizzying array herbs and botanicals. In 1648 Bobart catalogued all the plants he grew and this ancient document inspired the recipe for Physic Gin.
Representing 400 years of medicinal botanical cultivation this deeply herbaceous and savoury gin is crafted using 25 unique botanicals many of which are grown and foraged in the Botanic Garden today. Juniper and bay are joined by wormwood rue and sweet woodruff plus many more. Rich and earthy Physic Gin is an education and a spirit like no other. The perfect gift for gardening gin lovers Oxford alumni or those with an interest in the history of medicine.
The Oxford Artisan Distillery opened its doors in the summer of 2017 and unbelievably it marked the first legal distillation in the city’s history. The team are fascinated by heritage grains sustainable farming and a grain-to-glass ethos. They’re not interested in homogenous commercial bought-in-bulk seeds grown in the opposite of a natural ecosystem. So they took influence from wheat and rye discovered in Medieval thatched roofs which lead them to discover what would have been grown in the local area during ancient times. They then work with organic farms that use no pesticides fungicides chemical fertilisers or manure and who undersow their crops with clover. As a result the fields are brimming with wildflowers insects birds and biodiversity. Now that’s an eco-friendly spirit that this country can be very proud of.
