The home of our new world african gin

What better place to craft a bright, modern gin than the heart of KwaZulu-Natal? Bayab is distilled in South Africa using sun-grown botanicals sourced across the continent, with baobab fruit at the centre of our flavour.
This is where our naturally citrus-forward, beautifully balanced gin comes to life, vibrant, refreshing and distinctly African.

the bright, balanced taste of african gin

Bayab Gin is African at its core, crafted with botanicals sourced from across the continent, from Ghana to Zambia and beyond.

Our signature baobab fruit brings a natural citrus brightness, lifted by classic botanicals including juniper berries, coriander, rosemary, coarse salt, lemon peel and orange peel.

Together, they create a clean, balanced, citrus-forward gin that feels refreshing, vibrant and full of life with every sip

From the baobab tree of life to your glass

The baobab fruit grows on the baobab tree, which is native to the African savannah.The baobab tree is one of the most iconic trees found on earth and is otherwise known as the ‘tree of life’.

The Baobab is not just a tree, it’s the focal point of communities, the source of nourishment and the provider of shelter.

It is found in 32 countries across Africa and can live up to 5000 years andreach over 30 meters high and 50 meters in circumference. You may evenrecognise it as the tree that Rafiki calls home in Disney’s Lion King and inthe Avatar too!

Gin made responsibly, from tree to bottle

For Bayab, sustainability isn’t a buzzword, it’s how we work.

Our gin is crafted in a fully solar-powered distillery, and our botanicals are sourced from partners who prioritise sustainable and responsible practices.

We proudly support Ho Technical University in Ghana, funding research that will result in one million baobab trees being planted to protect the future of this legendary species.

As we reshape what modern gin can be, we’re equally committed to giving back, supporting communities, protecting resources and building a better relationship between brands and our continent.
