Take a journey along the Spice Route with Opihr Gin!
Opihr – pronounced ‘o-peer’ is a legendary region famed for its wealth and riches which prospered during the reign of King Solomon. The heritage of Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin is firmly rooted in the ancient Spice Route. You definitely need to try this wonderfully unique gin!
The Story
Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin is a unique style of London Dry Gin created by the world’s first female Master Gin Distiller, Joanne Moore, at the world’s oldest gin distillers, using exotic botanicals, herbs and spices.
Traditionally merchants would travel thousands of miles along the ancient Spice Route, trading exotic spices and botanicals from distant lands. Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin is distilled with a selection of exotic hand-picked botanicals, carefully chosen by Joanne Moore.
Opihr Gin has wonderfully spicy botanicals including Cubeb berries from Indonesia, Black Pepper from India and Coriander from Morocco. These botanicals make the journey to their final destination, G&J Distillers, where quality gin has been traditionally distilled, using the same London Dry Gin method, since 1761.
