Creating the finest gin possible takes the highest quality raw ingredients. We use up to 12 precious botanicals suspended above the spirit in perforated copper baskets during distillation. That way, as the heated spirit vapors rise, they’re gently infused with all the rich aromatic flavors our botanicals release. While ordinary gins boil their botanicals directly in the spirit to achieve their flavor, the wonderfully distinctive taste of our gin is created using the Vapor Infusion process. We still use our original Carterhead stills – Tom and Mary – from the 1830s, but we have now added two state-of-the-art 12,000 liter copper pot stills – Henry and Victoria – to our refurbished original stills. Botanicals From the heat of our Moroccan cubeb berries to the spice of our West African Grains of Paradise, every one of our ten precious botanicals are chosen to bring their own special something to our gin. Uniquely distilled, they come together to give Bombay Sapphire its tantalizing, smooth and complex taste.
