Elegant, balanced, and unmistakably refined, Bombay Sapphire London Dry Gin is one of the world’s most iconic and versatile premium gins. Crafted using a vapour-infusion distillation process rather than direct boiling, it captures the purest, most delicate flavours of its 10 botanicals, creating a gin of remarkable smoothness and complexity.
Distilled in Hampshire, England, at the restored Laverstoke Mill Distillery, Bombay Sapphire combines traditional craftsmanship with innovative precision. The result is a spirit of impeccable clarity — bright with citrus and spice, underpinned by classic juniper depth and a luxuriously smooth texture.
Bottled at 40% ABV, it’s designed for versatility: perfect for a clean Martini, a vibrant G&T, or creative modern cocktails.
The story of Bombay Sapphire begins with a recipe dating back to 1761, rediscovered and refined into the modern gin that launched globally in 1987. Today, production takes place at the Laverstoke Mill Distillery in Hampshire — a state-of-the-art, sustainable facility housed in a beautifully restored Victorian paper mill.
The distillation process uses Carterhead stills, where the vapour from the base spirit passes gently through a basket containing the 10 botanicals. This method extracts lighter, aromatic flavours, ensuring exceptional smoothness and balance.
Owned by Bacardi Ltd., Bombay Sapphire has become synonymous with modern elegance and creativity — from its striking blue bottle to its commitment to sustainable sourcing and artistry in distillation.
