Laverstoke: Bombay Sapphire Distillery

Description
The site dates back as a mill to the 10th century, though the current buildings date from the 18th Century onwards when it was a paper mill, producing the paper that Bank of England bank notes were printed on for 250 years. After falling into dereliction by the start of the 21st century the mill was then transformed into a distillery for the Bombay Sapphire company. Today the mill is still the only site of gin production for Bombay Sapphire and you can explore the mill buildings, the modern greenhouses and taste some of the product on a 90 minute guided tour (needs to be booked in advance)
