Something unique about Sky Wave and what sets you apart?
Sky Wave is probably the most medalled gin distillery in the UK. Our Master Distiller is still personally involved in every batch of gin distilled at Sky Wave. And as far as we know we are the only distillery in the world to be based on a former World War Two Airfield, now used for Hollywood films!

The Heyford Signature Gin: Includes Juniper, Lemon, Lime, Coriander, Liquorice.
The Heyford Pink Gin: Juniper, Rose, Lemon, Cassia, Liquorice, Hibiscus

Why do you like working with us at The Heyford?

What’s your favourite flavour of Gin?
Right now we are all loving our brand new expression, Sky Wave Sea Breeze Vodka. This is our second vodka (the first, our Tripe Distilled Vodka, won gold medals two years running at The World Vodka Awards) and uses citrussy sea berries and juicy cranberries to give a breath of fresh air from the British coastline.
