Curiosity is in my nature. I am a flamingo, after all. Call me Sir Edmond, the rebellious spirit behind the world’s first Bourbon vanilla infused gin. My story starts with a true pioneer. At just twelve years old, Edmond Albius, born into slavery on the island of Réunion, discovered the secret to hand pollinating vanilla orchids, a simple yet revolutionary technique that transformed vanilla cultivation from a hopeless pursuit into a flourishing craft.
The boy who gave vanilla a future
The Legacy of Mr Edmond Albius
With nothing more than a blade of grass and sharp intuition, he changed the future of vanilla forever. Though he never received the recognition he deserved, his quiet brilliance endures. Sir Edmond Gin proudly carries his name as a tribute, honouring the courage, curiosity and determination that gave the world its most beloved flavour and inspiring every bottle we create.
Every sip carries a legacy.

EVERYONE KNOWS VANILLA BUT ONLY A FEW KNOW EDMOND ALBIUS
THE SOUL OF SIR EDMOND GIN
Bourbon Vanilla
At the heart of Sir Edmond Gin lies Bourbon vanilla, the world’s most prized and aromatic variety. Grown on the tropical island of Réunion and hand-pollinated using Edmond Albius’s revolutionary technique, these rich, complex beans give our gin its signature smoothness, warmth and multi-layered flavour. Using a gentle cold infusion, we release the full depth of vanilla’s character.
The result is a rebellious vanilla gin that softens the botanicals, adds natural sweetness and complexity, and delivers an unforgettable, velvety twist unlike anything you have ever tasted.
PROTECTING WHAT MATTERS MOST
giving back
Sir Edmond Gin is committed to giving back to the environment. With every bottle sold, we support 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. Grateful for the richness they provide, we give back.
You can make our mission, your mission. One sip at a time.
