Colombo No.7 London Dry Gin takes inspiration from its Sri Lankan roots, infused with both wisdom and courage as symbolized by its mythical brand mark, Gajasingha, the fusion of elephant and lion. Made with seven botanicals, including four unique Sri Lankan spices and herbs, Colombo No.7 blends native cinnamon bark, curry leaves, ginger root, and coriander seeds with traditional juniper, liquorice, and angelica, creating a truly distinct gin with a subtle spice and bold character.
Colombo No.7 has an exceptional story of resilience, crafted originally during World War II when its founder used locally sourced ingredients to overcome closed spice trade routes. This gin’s creation led to the first law allowing gin production outside the UK, making it an Asian pioneer in the gin world.
