In the mid-1800s, quinine (the main ingredient of tonic water) was used widely throughout the world to treat and prevent malaria. With a formidably bitter taste, it was often mixed with Indian tonic. In 1857, an enterprising group of British Army officers based in Silchar, India, took their gin ration and started mixing it with their daily dose of tonic water to distinguish themselves from their men. In doing so the original gin and tonic was born.

Soon after, the same group of British Army officers started playing polo, founding the first polo club in Silchar, and forging the original link between polo and gin. Inspired by the story of these officers, British Polo gin have created a set of gins that strive to maintain that link of Britain, Polo and gin. 100% organic, quadruple-distilled in small batches, and perfect drunk neat or mixed, preferably at the polo.
