I recently came across a new spirit: Oxley Classic English Dry Gin. It's a small batch gin, made in England, and only available in select markets in the U.S. Their gimmick is a "cold distillation process" and the use of hand selected botanicals to set it apart from many other gins on the market. It is noticeably a dry English gin but is brighter and softer than many others. Maybe a bit sweeter, too, and the juniper comes forward - I had it served in a cold, dry martini, and it was delicious. 47% alcohol, 94 proof, and it retails for around $50. Worth a try!
