HMS VICTORY OAK AGED GIN

Isle of Wight Distillery

£57.5

A RARE CHANCE TO TASTE A PIECE OF HISTORY. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF THE ROYAL NAVY, WE HAVE RECREATED THE STYLE OF GIN IMBIBED BY NAVAL OFFICERS DURING THE 1800’S AT 57% ABV. HMS Gin was stored on board ships in oak barrels that had been used for wine. As with whisky, much of the colour, flavour and character is carried over from the oak itself. We commissioned four oak barrels to be re-made from wine casks by Alastair Sims, England’s only Master Cooper.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as ISLE OF WIGHT DISTILLERY LTD, number 09040283. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Stated by the company: "Isle of Wight Distillery, Pondwell Hill, Ryde PO33 1PX" Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
Foreign-owned
Majority ownership sits in United States, with Mermaid Global, Llc. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
