The history of Laverstoke Mill is recorded as far back as the 1086 Doomsday Book. Laverstoke Mill was first rose to prominence making banknotes for the Bank of England and then for the entire British Empire.

The name derives from the popularity of gin in India during the British Raj and “Sapphire” refers to the violet-blue Star of Bombay which was mined from Sri Lanka.

Bombay Sapphire is distilled using a recipe dating back to 1761. An artisanal distillation from neutral grain in a process now known as vapor infusion.

The perforated copper baskets are lowered into chambers with the selected 10 exotic botanicals, where the steam infuses with the flavors for about seven hours. 

The infused stem is then cooled in a condenser and finally added to the water from the River Test.
