Bombay Sapphire Gin (37.5cl, 47%)

A vapor-infused London dry gin bottled at 47% ABV in a 375ml format. All ten botanicals sit in perforated copper baskets inside a Carterhead still, with alcohol vapours rising through them to extract essential oils. The botanicals are juniper berries, lemon peel, coriander, angelica root, orris root, bitter almonds, liquorice, cassia bark, cubeb berries and grains of paradise. The nose shows lemon peel, orange zest, sweet floral notes, soft juniper and almond sweetness. The palate brings lemon acidity, coriander spice, piney juniper, earthy angelica root, liquorice and peppery warmth. The finish is medium, tight and clean, with coriander, juniper, citrus and sugared-almond sweetness.
