Xmas Bombay Spaphire 750 with Cocktail set
Crack the box, pour a measure over a hill of ice, top with cold tonic, and you've got that bright blue-bottle classic that basically never lets you down. Bombay Sapphire is the friendly, citrus-fresh gin everyone already knows how to drink. And this one rolls up in a gift box with an actual cocktail set tucked alongside, so whoever you give it to can start mixing the second they unwrap it. Birthday, housewarming, or a Friday that earned a real drink. Sorted.
Sniff it and you get clean juniper riding on a lift of lemon and warm spice, more perfume than punch. The sip is light and smooth to start, then those ten botanicals wake up: zesty coriander, a soft nutty roundness from almond, a little earthiness, and a peppery tingle on the finish from grains of paradise and cubeb. It's balanced and easygoing rather than in-your-face piney, which is exactly why it plays so nicely with tonic and in cocktails.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
It's an English gin, distilled at Laverstoke Mill in Hampshire. The clever bit is how it's made: instead of boiling the botanicals in the spirit, the vapour is passed up through baskets of them, gently picking up their aroma. That vapour-infusion trick is why Bombay Sapphire tastes so bright and lifted instead of heavy. The ten botanicals are sourced from all over the world, from lemon peel in Murcia to grains of paradise grown in Ghana for generations.
