Vanilla plants thrive in the dappled shade beneath palms and other tropical trees. From planting to flowering, patience is key: it takes 2.5 to 3 years for the vanilla orchid to appear. During this time, the vines climb and grow strong, preparing for their first delicate blooms.
Each blossom is delicately fertilised within this fleeting window, a task repeated hundreds of times. Nearly 600 blossoms yield just one kilogram of beans — true craftsmanship, patience and devotion in every pod.
Once pollinated, the beans take 9 to 12 months to mature. When they become yellow it is time to harvest. The vanilla beans are harvested by hand and are treated with extreme caution because of their fragility.
After harvest, the beans are dried in the sun for weeks, slowly losing moisture and deepening into their rich brown hue. This careful process unlocks Bourbon vanilla’s signature aroma. From 6 kilograms of fresh pods, only 1 kilogram of cured beans emerges. Pure flavour, rare and precious.
After the drying period, the brown vanilla pods are carefully placed in wooden boxes to rest. Over 3 months, their flavour deepens and their aroma blossoms into the unmistakable richness of Bourbon vanilla. This quiet transformation is the final step before the beans bring their magic to Sir Edmond Gin.
French colonists introduce vanilla to Réunion Island, hoping to cultivate the valuable orchid. But there’s one problem: the island’s native insects won’t pollinate the plant, making commercial cultivation impossible, until a young boy changes everything.

Coming from the island of Réunion, vanilla capital of the world, I take my botanicals very seriously. They are presents of Mother Nature, aren’t they? Carefully combined, six of them give my rebellious spirit its unusual character: Bourbon vanilla (obviously), juniper, angelica root, cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon. Let me introduce you to the true stars of Sir Edmond Gin.

At the heart of Sir Edmond Gin lies Bourbon vanilla, the most prized and aromatic variety in the world. Grown on the tropical island of Réunion, this rich and complex botanical gives our gin its signature smoothness and warmth.
Rather than distilling it, we use a cold infusion process that gently releases the full depth of vanilla’s flavor. The result? A rebellious gin with a soft, velvety twist, unlike anything you’ve tasted before.
Sir Edmond Gin supports the African Wildlife Foundation, a charity dedicated to preserving wildlife, restoring habitats, and empowering local communities across Africa. For every bottle sold, a contribution is made to help protect this fragile beauty. It’s our way of giving back to the continent that inspired our spirit. Because true rebellion means taking responsibility, too.
