Thick and oily with huge black pepper and bitter peel up front, softening to sweet orange and lemon, darker earthy spice and black liquorice — hibiscus and floral notes with juniper mid-palate
Finish
Soft and spicy with orangey notes — long dry smooth with lingering bitter citrus and aromatic spice
Expert Review
8/10Bombay Sapphire's premium expression — slow-distilled at Laverstoke Mill for maximum botanical extraction at 47.5%. Bergamot and ambrette seed added to the classic 10, creating rich, oily, and deeply flavoured gin.
