Abingdon Distillery
Abingdon Distillery was launched in 2018 in the historic market town on the River Thames in Oxfordshire, with their London Dry Gin launched the same year, and in 2021 the distillery and gins were rebranded when distiller Jordan Morris took over the running of the business. In 2022 the distillery was moved to a new location in central Abingdon to offer distillery tours and tastings, and to expand production to include rums.

  • ​Distillery Location: Coxeter House, 21-27 Ock Street, Abingdon, Oxfordshire (England)​

Abingdon London Dry Gin (40% ABV)

  • Botanicals: 7 including juniper, coriander seeds, angelica root, cardamom, fennel, orange, lemon. Base Spirit: Wheat.​
  • Serving Suggestions: Gin & Tonic with a garnish of Pink Grapefruit.
  • ​Tasting Notes: Aromas of juniper, earthy angelica root, fennel and citrus. On the palate, juniper and fennel move into a combination of cardamom and citrus. A dry, light finish of coriander seeds, juniper, earthiness and sweet anise.
The Gin Guide Review: Abingdon London Dry Gin delivers plentiful classic notes with complexity and contemporary character from fennel, cardamom and citrus, with a cohesive and appealing flavour profile. Fennel can be a difficult botanical to use delicately, and when neat it is notably evident without being dominating, and with Tonic Water it softens and blends seamlessly as juniper, citrus and spice notes are elevated. Abingdon London Dry makes for a versatile G&T that could be taken down a fresh and savoury route with a cucumber garnish or made bright and citrussy with a lemon, orange or pink grapefruit garnish. - Paul Jackson, 2021

Meet the Maker

"All our recipes are distilled in our copper alembic pot still, Jenny, and we macerate the botanicals for 24 hours prior to going in the still. It is always a 1-shot method with no artificial colours or flavourings at all; making concentrates and diluting back isn’t part of our ethos - it somewhat takes out the fun of craft distilling." - Owner & Distiller, Jordan Morris
