Oxford Botanic Garden & Arboretum
by The Oxford Artisan Distillery
Oxford Botanic Garden - Physic Gin. This richly complex gin is a collaboration between the eco-friendly folks at The Oxford Artisan Distillery and Oxford Botanic Garden. This is a true celebration of the University of Oxford's extraordinary Botanic Garden - the oldest of its kind in the country.
Founded in 1621 as a physicke (physic) garden for the teaching of herbal medicine, Oxford Botanic Garden was planted during the 1640s by its first keeper, Jacob Bobart the Elder. In 1648, Bobart created a catalogue of all the plants which he grew, now preserved as a treasured ancient manuscript at the Garden. The Oxford Artisan Distillery is the only distillery in the world allowed access to the catalogue and Garden to both inspire and flavour its recipes.
25 unique botanicals, mostly from Bobart's list and many grown and foraged in the Garden today, give Physic Gin its distinct personality and flavour. Sweet notes of juniper and bay are prominent, with botanicals like wormwood, rue and sweet woodruff bringing a deeply complex flavour. Expect rich, earthy notes from this gin - like nothing you have tasted before. Herbaceous, savoury, and complex, this is a gin that truly represents 400 years of medicinal botanical cultivation.
