The story of Bombay Sapphire starts in the early 1980s when the brand was founded, culminating in the launch of its distinctive gin in 1987. The gin is named after the iconic Bombay Sapphire, a rare blue diamond that symbolizes the brand's commitment to quality and excellence. Its production takes place at Laverstoke Mill, a historic site that has been transformed into a state-of-the-art distillery, where the craft of gin-making is upheld. The approach of Bombay Sapphire stands out owing to its revolutionary vapour infusion method of distillation, allowing for smoother flavors with a more pronounced botanical aroma. This innovative process separates Bombay Sapphire from its competitors, making a mark in the spirits industry.
The fabrication process of Bombay Sapphire starts with the meticulous selection of ten exotic botanicals, hand-picked from different parts of the world. Each botanical is stored and prepared separately until needed. The heart of the distillation process is the vapour infusion technique, where the botanicals are placed in a unique tray which sits above the alcohol during the distillation phase. As the alcohol vapour rises, it gently extracts the intricate flavors and aromas from the botanicals, creating a smooth and aromatic spirit. Each batch is distilled in traditional copper pot stills, which adds character and complexity. After distillation, the spirit is blended to achieve the brand's signature profile before being bottled, ensuring consistency and excellence in every drop.
