Our Botanicals Expert

Behind Bombay Sapphire stands a dedicated team comprising of growers, farmers, suppliers and experts involved in every aspect of our spirits production. Among these individuals is one esteemed expert, referred to as our Master. Allow us to introduce you to Alessandro Garneri, our Master of Botanicals. Together with his team, he oversees the creation of every drop of Bombay Sapphire gin worldwide.

The Finest Ingredients

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 vapours rise, they’re gently infused with all the rich aromatic flavours our botanicals release.

Unique Vapour Infusion

While ordinary gins boil their botanicals directly in the spirit to achieve their flavour, the wonderfully distinctive taste of our gin is created using the Vapour 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 litre copper pot stills – Henry and Victoria – to our refurbished original stills.

Our Essential 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 tantalising, smooth and complex taste.
