BOMBAY SAPPHIRE Makes Its Laverstoke Mill Distillery Bat-Friendly | Bacardi Ltd

  • 9 years ago
Hamilton, Bermuda, May 12, 2015 /3BL Media/ — The iconic BACARDÍ bat emblem is one of the most recognizable trademarks in the world, so coincidentally, as a Bacardi-owned brand, it's only natural that BOMBAY SAPPHIRE® had to deal with bats during the recent renovation of the BOMBAY SAPPHIRE Distillery at Laverstoke Mill in England.

When the BOMBAY SAPPHIRE Distillery at Laverstoke Mill renovation began, restoration crews found that the empty buildings they thought to be vacant had some very agile, yet shy, nocturnal tenants. The 18th-century, no longer used Georgian and Victorian structures provided the perfect roost for a colony of bats that seemed none-too-prepared to leave. In the English countryside, bats are protected by law and those knowingly disturbing their roosts can be fined or imprisoned.
