Appearance:
Crystal clear with a slight bluish hue when seen through the signature blue bottle, but the gin itself is colorless and bright.
Aroma:
Bright and aromatic with strong juniper presence, followed by citrus (lemon peel) and floral notes. Hints of coriander and a soft earthy undertone from angelica root and orris root.
Taste:
Clean and crisp with a balanced profile. Juniper leads, but quickly gives way to vibrant citrus and subtle spice. Coriander and cubeb berries add warmth and depth, while hints of almond and licorice root provide a creamy, rounded character.
Finish:
Smooth and dry with lingering citrus and spice notes. The finish is refreshing, with a mild peppery kick from the grains of paradise.
Considerations for mixing:
Exceptionally versatile. Ideal for classic gin cocktails like the Gin & Tonic, Martini, or Tom Collins. Its crisp profile pairs well with citrus and aromatic mixers.
Style:
London Dry Gin
Distillation Method:
Vapor infusion – botanicals are suspended above the spirit in copper baskets during distillation, allowing the alcohol vapors to gently extract their flavors.
Botanicals used:
Juniper berries, coriander seeds, angelica root, orris root, almonds, cassia bark, cubeb berries, grains of paradise, lemon peel, and liquorice.
Overall impression:
A refined and accessible London Dry Gin with a smooth, balanced character. Bombay Sapphire stands out for its aromatic complexity and versatility, making it a favorite among both gin newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts.
