Bombay Bramble

Bombay Sapphire is a brand of gin, produced in England from a recipe of 10 botanicals. The brand was launched in 1987, and was based on Bombay Original London Dry Gin which is a 200-year-old formula that eschewed boiling botanicals for vapor infusion. The gin is triple distilled using carterhead stills rather than the more commonly used pot still. The name Bombay Sapphire stems from gin's popularity in India in the 17th and 18th centuries when the country was ruled by the British Crown. The bottle, carrying the image of Queen Victoria on the label, has become iconic with its flat sides and blue color.

Whole red summer berry forward note, complemented with rich fruity juniper & green spice. Palate is predominantly juniper & citrus, with aromatic red berry roundness & liquorice spice. Finish is remarkably smooth & dry, driven by waxy pine & liquorice notes. Although the earlier jammy nose & palate gives way to the waxy pine & angelica, an essence of blackberry & raspberry remains on the tongue long after the spirit has gone.
