Opihr Oriental Spiced London Dry Gin

About Opihr Oriental Spiced London Dry Gin

Opihr Gin was launched in 2013 and is named after a legendary biblical port of extreme wealth that was said to contribute a substantial portion of King Solomon's riches. While shrouded in mystery, it was supposedly located somewhere along the Ancient Spice Route that stretched all the way from Japan to Europe.

The spices and botanicals that make up Opihr Gin travel from various places along the route, until they reach England. There the gin is crafted by Opihr's Master Distiller Joanne Moore at the G&J Distillers, the oldest continuous gin distillery in England, where gin has been made since 1761 using the same traditional method. 4 core expressions are currently in their lineup, the Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin serving as the base for their European, Arabian, and Far East Editions.

The flagship Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin takes its inspiration from the ancient Spice Route that linked the East to the West. It is a unique London dry style that is crafted with hand-picked botanicals: At its core is Italian juniper, Spanish orange peel and Turkish grapefruit peel, German angelica root for the earthy and bitter notes, spicy Indonesian cubeb berries, Indian Tellicherry black pepper, ginger, and cardamom, and Moroccan coriander.

About Gin

According to Winston Churchill, "The gin and tonic has saved more Englishmen's lives and minds than all the doctors in the Empire," referring to the British officers using it to treat malaria in India.

Initially made for medicinal purposes, gin gets most of its flavor from the juniper berries added after the distillation process. It sure has come a long way from the Middle Ages, with the introduction of new botanicals, fruits, and spices, bringing it closer to people of all flavor varieties.
