African Grown Gin · Distilled in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Takes you somewhere brighter.
B Corp Certified · Award Winning · Ghana to Zambia
Most gins taste like gin. Bayab tastes like Africa. Small batch, distilled in KwaZulu-Natal, crafted with twelve botanicals sourced from seven African countries - baobab at the heart of all of it. Bright, alive, and unlike anything else in your cabinet. Takes you somewhere brighter, every time.
Each expression is a different window into Africa's flavour. All of them bright, none of them ordinary.

The baobab fruit, sourced from Ghana and Zambia, is the heart of everything we make. Africa's Tree of Life brings a bright citrus punch found in no other gin. Naturally packed with antioxidants and more Vitamin C than oranges.
The distinct baobab flavour is complemented by botanicals sustainably sourced from across Africa. Each of our four expressions uses a different combination to create something vibrant and alive.
