Bax Botanics

The brand's origins lie in fifteen years that Chris and Rose spent teaching foraging and preserving, a background that directly informed the flavour approach behind the spirits. Bax Botanics was originally created with drivers in mind, and it reports a consistent sales peak in January each year. Distribution now reaches the UK, the United States, and the UAE.

Production takes place at a small-batch distillery in Wetherby, West Yorkshire, where three copper stills named Ebenezer, Hephzibah, and Edith carry out the distillation. The process follows the traditional copper-still method, with alcohol never entering it. Organic botanicals, sourced from trusted partners through ethical farming methods, form the ingredient base, with Seville orange among the key components. Each batch is filtered through Yorkshire water. The finished spirits are preserved and acidulated, a process that introduces a slight natural acidity, and the distillery operates a closed-loop water cooling system alongside sustainable and recycled materials throughout production.

Two alcohol-free spirits are currently produced at the distillery. Both are completely allergen free and suited to diabetics. Two of the brand's drinks have picked up awards. The spirits have featured in four alcohol-free cocktails at the Gong Bar at the Shard in London.
