Bayab Gin is a premium African gin produced by Spearhead Spirits, a company co-founded by Chris Frederick and Damola Timeyin. The two met as university friends in Leeds, UK, over 20 years ago.

Chris Frederick has a background in finance, while Damola Timeyin worked in advertising. Together, they noticed a lack of diverse representation in the spirits industry, particularly of African spirits in global markets. This observation led them to establish Spearhead Spirits in March 2021, aiming to showcase authentic African craftsmanship and flavors.

Their mission is to connect the world to Africa through their spirits, highlighting the continent's rich heritage and quality produce. Spearhead's portfolio includes Bayab Gin and Vusa Vodka, both distilled using local botanicals sourced from various African countries. The company emphasizes sustainability and community development, partnering with organizations like uMthombo to support youth in South Africa.

Through their efforts, Frederick and Timeyin aim to increase diversity in the spirits sector and share the vibrant flavors of Africa with a global audience.
