Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin
INSPIRED BY THE ANCIENT EXPLORERS OF THE ORIENT, JOANNE MOORE, THE MASTER DISTILLER OF THIS BRAND HAS TRAVELLED NEAR AND FAR, SEEKING EXOTIC SPICES AND BOTANICALS TO CREATE A MASTERPIECE, KNOWN TO MANY AS OPIHR ORIENTAL SPICED GIN.
OPIHR – PRONOUNCED ‘O-PEER’ – IS A legendary region famed for its wealth and riches, which prospered during the reign of King Solomon. In those days, the King regularly received cargoes of gold, silver and spices from Opihr and whilst its exact location remains a mystery, it is thought to have been in the Orient, along the ancient spice route.

The heritage of Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin is also firmly rooted in the Ancient Spice Route. Traditionally, merchants would travel thousands of miles along the route, trading exotic spices and botanicals from distant lands.
In honour of this tradition, Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin is crafted with a selection of exotic handpicked botanicals, carefully chosen by Opihr’s Master Distiller. The three key botanicals used in Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin are Cubeb berries from Indonesia, Black Pepper from India and Coriander from Morocco.
The botanicals in Opihr Gin make the journey along the spice route to their final destination, the oldest distillery in England, where quality gin has been traditionally distilled using the same London Dry Gin method since 1761. The Master Distiller infuses the botanicals in high quality spirit in copper pot stills, using more than 250 years of tradition and expertise, to create a unique spiced gin.
Packaged in the bold colours of gold and red, the bottle has been designed to emulate the precious treasure from distant and far away lands.
Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin makes a refreshingly different Gin & Tonic, garnished with orange for a classic drink and for the more adventurous, it tastes amazing when mixed with ginger ale or in a gin-based Bloody Mary.
The liquid is unique amongst its competitive set and is a favourite among bartenders due to its flexibility and strength – at 40% ABV, it is a punchy, super premium gin.
It is no surprise then that Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin recently won a double gold in the world renowned San Francisco Spirit Awards – thereby confirming the liquid’s excellence. ❧
