Mildly scented with ginger, anise, honeysuckle and juniper. The gin has a pronounced but fleeting sweetness, and a lingering finish laced with lemon peel and licorice/fennel seed. Gin & tonic materal.
Unlike many other gins, we use eight botanicals to create our London Dry taste. Each one is hand-picked to preserve its individual qualities to add to this wonderfully classic blend.
To craft our gin we vapour infuse our botanicals, never ever boil them. By distilling our ingredients this way, we’re able to draw out every last drop of their distinctive flavours.
Bombay Dry is still based on the same time-honoured recipe from 1761. Our unique vapour infusion process, used to distil all Bombay gins, delicately extracts the best from each botanical.
From the heat of our cubeb berries from Java to the spice of our West African Grains of Paradise, every one of our eight precious botanicals are chosen to bring their own special something to our gin. Uniquely distilled, they come together to give Bombay Sapphire its tantalising, smooth and complex taste.
