Bombay Sapphire is a London dry gin made with ten botanicals. The botanicals are placed in perforated copper baskets in the path of rising alcohol vapour, which absorbs their aromatic oils before being condensed back into liquid. The recipe dates to 1761 and includes juniper from Italy, lemon peel, coriander seed from Morocco, angelica root from Saxony, orris root, bitter almonds, liquorice, cassia bark, cubeb pepper and grains of paradise.
The gin is bottled at 40% in a blue one-litre bottle. It suits a Gin & Tonic as well as a Tom Collins. The distillery is at Laverstoke Mill in Hampshire, England, where historic buildings were restored for use as a distillery and a visitor centre opened on 1 October 2014.
Tasting Notes
Juniper and lemon peel with a sweet note reminiscent of lemon meringue filling; black and white pepper and other spice notes, with fine herbal tones in the background.
Mild and oily, beginning lightly and delicately with some sweetness, restrained juniper, lemon peel and coriander, followed by strong pepper and chilli notes and cooked herbal tones.
Juniper with pine-like notes and a mixture of peppery spices, with a fine lavender tone and a warming, slightly coriander-like aftertaste.
