Bombay Saphire

Bombay Sapphire is a renowned brand of gin produced by the British spirits company, Bacardi Limited. It is a premium gin that has gained worldwide recognition for its unique flavor and high-quality ingredients. The brand's distinctive blue bottle and iconic logo have become synonymous with sophistication and elegance, making it a popular choice among gin enthusiasts and cocktail lovers.

The story of Bombay Sapphire dates back to 1761 when Thomas Dakin, an Englishman, began distilling gin in Warrington, England. The brand's name was inspired by the popularity of gin in the British Raj era in India, where the British colonists would mix their gin with Indian tonic water to prevent malaria. The name "sapphire" was chosen to reflect the precious and exotic ingredients used in the gin, such as juniper berries, coriander seeds, and angelica root.

Today, Bombay Sapphire is produced at a state-of-the-art distillery located in Laverstoke Mill, Hampshire, England. The distillery is a historic building that was once a paper mill dating back to the 18th century. It has been renovated and transformed into a sustainable and eco-friendly distillery, using renewable energy sources and recycling water from the River Test that runs through the site.

One of the key factors that sets Bombay Sapphire apart from other gins is its use of a unique vapor infusion process. Unlike traditional gin-making methods, where botanicals are added directly to the spirit during distillation, Bombay Sapphire's botanicals are placed in a special copper basket suspended in the still. As the spirit is vaporized, it passes through the basket, allowing the flavors of the botanicals to be delicately infused into the gin, resulting in a smooth and complex taste.

The brand's commitment to quality and innovation has earned it numerous awards and accolades over the years, including being named the World's Most Innovative Distillery by Drinks International in 2017. Bombay Sapphire has also been recognized for its sustainable practices, receiving the
