Bombay Sapphire Gin Review & Tasting Notes
About Bombay Sapphire Gin
Bombay Sapphire's name derives from gin's popularity during the British Raj in India and was developed to create a differentiated brand from the more traditional British London Dry Gins. Bombay Sapphire is triple distilled and features 10 botanicals. Previously owned by Diageo, Bombay Sapphire is now owned by Barcardi and their new distillery and visitors' centre in Hampshire opened its doors in 2014. The Gin Guide says... Bombay Sapphire gin is one of the most recognised and popular gins available. It mixes well and has a has a good level of complexity for the price point. Bombay Sapphire is also comparatively subtle when it comes to being driven by juniper, with the other botanicals also coming to the forefront. It's a trustworthy gin with an iconic bottle, and it certainly deserves its place in back bars across the world. - Paul Jackson, 2015 You Might Also Like...
