Martin Miller’s Gin was launched 20 years ago at a time before the so-called ‘gin-boom’ took hold. A real trailblazer in its field, the brand represents the epitome of premium quality gin and it’s one that came about thanks to the dedication and indeed obsession of the man, the entrepreneur that is Martin Miller.
Created using traditional manufacturing methods at their distillery in Langley near Windsor, Martin Miller’s range of Gin wonderfully combines the zing of citrus with a range of natural ingredients such as angelica root, coriander, cassia bark, liquorice, nutmeg and of course, the all-important juniper.
In addition to these high-quality ingredients, what gives this gin its singularly unique, fresh flavour is the process used in its production. It involves a dual action, the first part of which is the distillation that’s still carried out in an ornate pot that’s affectionately known as Angela. This is where the citrus and botanical elements are distilled separately, before combining them together and adding cucumber to create a freshness that you simply don’t get with other gins.
If this weren’t enough to set Martin Miller’s gin apart from the competition, the second part of the process involves taking their gin on a 1200 mile journey to Iceland where the some of the purest, most oxygenated water in the world is added. This extra attention to detail is what adds an extra smoothness and warmth to the gorgeous after-taste.
