Bombay London Dry Gin (70cl, 37.5%)

A London dry gin with a classic recipe of eight botanicals: juniper berries, lemon peel, coriander seeds, angelica root, orris root, liquorice, almonds and cassia. The recipe dates back to 1761. The aromas enter the gin by vapour infusion, with the botanicals placed by hand in perforated copper baskets through which alcohol vapour passes during distillation. The gin is bottled unaged at 37.5% ABV in a 0.7 litre bottle. Its juniper-led, dry style suits a classic gin and tonic, for example with lemon peel. On the nose, soft juniper combines with pronounced floral notes, fresh lemon peel and floral hints of angelica and orris root. On the palate, juniper and other botanical notes meet, with coriander and liquorice particularly prominent, the liquorice giving a gentle roundness. The finish is dry, with juniper giving way to mild baking spice notes.
