Bombay Sapphire is distilled in England and is made with a base of neutral spirits that are distilled from wheat and malt. The gin is then flavoured with a blend of ten botanical ingredients using a slow infusion process, including juniper berries, coriander seeds, citrus peel, and liquorice root. Bombay Sapphire is perfectly balanced and is bottled at 40% ABV.
The Bombay Sapphire brand was launched in 1987 by Allied Domecq. The gin is a premium product, with a distinctive blue bottle which has helped it to stand out from the crowd. In recent years, Bombay Sapphire has seen renewed interest from cocktail enthusiasts and bartenders who appreciate its complex flavour profile.
Bombay Sapphire is best enjoyed in a classic gin and tonic or martini. It can also be used in creative cocktails that highlight its unique flavour characteristics.
Tasting Notes:
Light and piney juniper, with soft peppery warmth building. Subtle sweetness of sugared almond and angelica develops, still packed with herbaceousness.
