Immerse yourself in gin heaven at our boutique distillery, the home of the World’s Best Contemporary Gin. Hear the stories and drink award winning gin at the only distillery based on a former WW2 RAF base, now the beautiful Bicester Heritage, home of historic motoring.

Join us at our boutique distillery for an intimate experience, where your hosts will guide you through the Sky Wave story, how our award winning gins are created culminating in a tutored gin tasting.

The Sky Wave distillery experience is perfect for gin lovers so indulge yourself, your friends and family.

“We couldn’t find the perfect gin – so we made it” -- Founders Rachel Hicks and Andy Parsons.

Our founders have been life-long gin drinkers, seeking out unusual and flavourful gins; they had always been mere consumers however, never thinking about distilling their own. But they couldn’t ever find that perfect gin for their taste – the one that just ticked every box.

Their inspiration hit them when they were by the sea on their wedding anniversary. They blazed home with the idea of creating the perfect gin for them, and immediately set to work. Rachel was driven by the idea of creating a genuine craft gin, with flavours inspired by their lives and experiences.

Both Rachel and Andy have lived lives full of adventure. Their epic journeys through mountain, sky, desert and sea inspire the flavour profiles of our outstanding gins. Some of the botanicals we use reflect these far-away, exotic places that they have travelled; the name ‘Sky Wave’ is a fusion of the big skies and big waves that have characterised their adventures. But there is another wonderful link to our founders in the name. ‘Sky Wave’ is also a term used in radio; in their former lives, Rachel was a BBC radio reporter and Andy was a Royal Signals Army Officer.
