Media Release: Bombay Sapphire
For more than 200 years, the mill produced high quality paper for the bank notes of England. The mill expanded with the growth of the British Empire. During Queen Victoria's reign, it rose prominently and Laverstoke Mill began making bank notes for England's newly acquired lands, including India. This deep-rooted heritage connects the story of England, Laverstoke Mill, India and the 1761 British recipe for Bombay Sapphire. Reflecting on the restoration project, Global Category Director for Bombay Sapphire Ben Farlow says, \"We fully respect the importance of heritage and have made every effort over the last four years to ensure Laverstoke Mill is a place that is reflective of its past, and holds the fundamental principles of creativity, integrity and beauty at its centre. It is fantastic to witness the opening of Laverstoke Mill and show-off the incredible design and splendor of the site which we are proud to call our home as it provides the perfect setting to showcase an elegant brand as Bombay Sapphire.\" Laverstoke Mill expanded with the growth of the British Empire. During Queen Victoria's reign, it rose prominently and Laverstoke Mill began making the paper for the bank notes for England and then its newly acquired lands. As Queen Victoria pushed farther to include exotic and far away India, the mill created paper for India's bank notes as well. At this time history connects England, Laverstoke Mill and gin.

The ambition for the project restores the buildings, grounds and its heritage, while introducing a new structure that will complement the existing buildings, as a showcase of the brand's intrinsic quality that reflects the aspirations of the Bombay Sapphire brand. The highlight of the complex build is the glass house for Bombay Sapphire gin's 10 botanicals. As a major feature of Laverstoke Mill, the glass house is a symbol of the brand's careful, skillful and imaginative approach to gin making. Bombay Sapphire Global Category Director John Burke adds: \"It's a very exciting time for the Bombay Sapphire team, especially now that we're seeing our plan for Laverstoke Mill come into fruition. With tradition, quality and craftsmanship at the heart of the site's heritage, we can finally look forward to opening our doors to consumers worldwide and share with them the care, skill and imagination that is infused in the spirit we produce. Bombay Sapphire gin has experienced great success and growth over the last 10 years and with the opening of the brand's home and consumer experience, we are very optimistic for next decade.\" Bombay Sapphire [http://www.bombaysapphire.com/en-gb/lda.aspx?redirect=/imagination-series.aspx ] is the world's fastest growing premium gin and number one premium gin by value. Based on a secret 1761 recipe, Bombay Sapphire gin is created by perfectly balancing a unique combination of 10 hand-selected exotic botanicals from around the world. The natural flavours of the botanicals are captured through a delicate distillation process called Vapour Infusion which results in the tantalising, smooth and complex taste that is Bombay Sapphire gin.
