-15%This is Bombay Sapphire dressed up for a big night. Star of Bombay is the small-batch, top-of-the-range one, and you feel it the second you pour: rounder, deeper, more grown-up than the blue bottle you know. Pine-fresh juniper up front, then this warm citrus-floral hum that lingers. Build it into a proper Martini, or a G&T with serious backbone, and it carries the whole evening. We'll have it at your door fast, any hour.
The nose hits clean and bright, all pine and crisp juniper. Then it opens up. You get rich citrus from the bergamot, that fancy Italian orange, plus a soft floral musk from the ambrette seed that makes it feel almost silky. The palate is fuller and oilier than a standard dry gin, with a little black-pepper warmth and a gentle bitter-peel edge on the finish. At 47.5% it's got real presence, but it never bites. Smooth, aromatic, quietly confident.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Star of Bombay is made at the Bombay Sapphire distillery at Laverstoke Mill in Hampshire, England, the river-side gin cathedral with the glasshouses. It builds on the classic ten Bombay botanicals, then adds two more: dried bergamot orange peel from southern Italy (Calabria) and ambrette seed for that musky floral lift. The clever bit is the slow vapour infusion. Instead of the usual run, the stills go cooler and gentler for around nine and a half hours, pulling deeper oils from the botanicals. That patience is exactly why it tastes richer.
