A Legacy of Craft Distilling

Launched in 2003 as an answer to the refined tastes of professional bartenders and gin aficionados, the Westbourne expression builds on the celebrated foundation of Martin Miller’s Gin. This gin is distilled in England in small batches using traditional pot stills, demonstrating a dedication to true craft spirit techniques that ensure a superior flavour profile.

Thoughtful Botanical Composition

In the creation of Martin Miller’s Westbourne Strength Gin, a meticulous selection of botanicals is used to achieve its iconic taste. The gin features a vibrant juniper backbone paired with citrus peels such as lemon, delivering bright, zesty notes. Complementing these are complex spice elements — coriander for a peppery twist, cassia for warm undertones, and nutmeg enhancing with its subtle, nutty warmth.

In a distinctive process, heavy botanicals are distilled separately from citrus peels, ensuring the preservation of their individual characters while achieving a magnificent balance in every batch.

The Icelandic Water’s Influence

The journey does not end with distillation. The gin travels to Iceland, where it is married with pure Icelandic spring water. This blending not only brings the gin to its official bottling strength — an assertive and spirited 45% ABV — but also gives it an admired silky mouthfeel. Additionally, a touch of cucumber essence is added post-distillation, infusing the gin with a refreshing twist and a cool, invigorating aroma.

Sensory Elegance and Complexity

Martin Miller’s Westbourne Strength is celebrated not only for its taste but for its aroma. The gin’s nose is defined by clean juniper, vibrant citrus, and hints of cucumber, alongside subtle spice from its thoughtful blend of botanicals — creating an inviting fragrance that is both classic and contemporary.

On the palate, the gin amazes with layers evolving from bold juniper and citrus dominances to complex spice accents. The result is a finish that is long, dry, and harmonious, effortlessly maintaining its balanced structure.
