In the world of gin, technical choices shape taste far more than one might imagine. Since 1998, Martin Miller’s has embraced this philosophy with precision and intent. Its premium structure is built upon a meticulous method — and a natural element that defines its character: water.
Martin Miller’s Gin and its Volcanic Secret
At the heart of the process lies an Icelandic spring, fed by centuries- old glacial melt and filtered through layers of volcanic rock. This is the quiet secret behind the gin’s identity — a rare, mineral-free water that amplifies the botanicals during distillation, heightening their clarity and transforming flavour into pure pleasure. The result is a silky texture on the palate, unmistakable and enduring.
Crafting the Botanicals
The most delicate botanicals — lemon and orange peel — are distilled separately from the deeper, warmer notes of cinnamon, coriander, and nutmeg. This careful division ensures perfect balance. Martin Miller’s Original is, at its core, an exercise in harmony. Floral on the nose, citrus-forward on the first sip, and finishing with a clean line of juniper, it’s a gin defined by restraint and elegance. Its essential profile makes it ideal both for sipping neat and for crafting the purest, most precise cocktails. That same stylistic imprint runs through the other expressions in the range: Westbourne, with a spicier edge; Summerful, inspired by the crisp freshness of the Arctic; and Winterful, an ode to the Nordic winter season.
