Īfter production was shifted to Laverstoke, bottling of the drink remained contracted out G&J Greenall, with the undiluted gin being tankered to Warrington for dilution and bottling.
As part of the transfer of production, two of Greenall's stills were moved from Warrington to Laverstoke. The visitor centre included a new construction by Thomas Heatherwick of two glasshouses for plants used as botanicals in the production of Bombay Sapphire gin. Planning permission was granted in February 2012, and the centre opened to the public in the autumn of 2014. These plans included the restoration of the former Portal's paper mill at the proposed site, and the construction of a visitor centre. However in 2011, plans were announced to move the manufacturing process to a new facility at Laverstoke Mill in Laverstoke, Hampshire. Until 2013, production and bottling of Bombay Sapphire was contracted out by Bacardi to G&J Greenall in Warrington, Cheshire. Glasshouses by Thomas Heatherwick for growing the botanicals The 47.0% version is the standard for sale at duty-free stores in all markets. Water from Lake Vyrnwy is added to bring the strength of Bombay Sapphire down to 40.0% (UK, the Nordics, several continental European markets, Canada and Australia). This is felt to give the gin a lighter, more floral taste compared to those gins that are created using a copper pot still. Alcohol brought in from another supplier is evaporated three times using a carterhead still, and the alcohol vapours are passed through a mesh/basket containing the ten botanicals, in order to gain flavour and aroma. The flavouring of the drink comes from a recipe of ten ingredients: almond, lemon peel, liquorice, juniper berries, orris root, angelica, coriander, cassia, cubeb, and grains of paradise. Bombay Sapphire is marketed in a flat-sided, sapphire-coloured bottle that bears a picture of Queen Victoria on the label. Its name originates from the gin and tonic popularised by the Royal Indian Armed Forces during the British Raj, "Sapphire" refers to the violet-blue Star of Bombay which was mined from British Ceylon (Sri Lanka), and is now on display at the Smithsonian Institution. In 1997 Diageo sold the brand to Bacardi.
