Bombay Sapphire Premier Cru Gin / Murcian Lemon
London Dry 47% ABVBest Bombay Ever Made
Honestly, this is everything I wanted Bombay Sapphire to be. The Murcian lemon adds sophistication and depth, the juniper is properly present at 47%, and every sip is an absolute joy. This has permanently replaced regular Sapphire in my collection.
A Bit Too Citrus-Heavy
While the Murcian lemon is certainly vibrant, it overwhelms the other botanicals for my taste. I prefer a more juniper-forward gin. It's well made but feels like it's trying too hard to be different from the original.
Great Upgrade on the Original
Bombay have taken their classic and elevated it beautifully. The Spanish lemon adds real character and the higher ABV at 47% gives it more depth. Works wonderfully in a G&T with a twist of lemon.
Premium Citrus Punch
The Murcian lemon really does make a difference — it's more vibrant and authentic than the regular version. Good juniper backbone and a lovely sherbet-like citrus quality. Worth the premium over standard Sapphire.
Sapphire's Finest Hour
The Premier Cru range is a massive step up from standard Sapphire. Those Murcian lemons add a zesty brightness that lifts the whole gin. At 47% it's got proper body and the juniper really sings.
Stunning Citrus Character
The Murcian lemon botanical gives this an authentic Mediterranean sun-kissed quality. It's bright, zesty, and complex. The London Dry backbone keeps everything structured and elegant.
Perfect Summer Gin
This is sunshine in a glass. The lemon character is genuine and bright, not artificial, and at 47% it has enough backbone to hold its own in any cocktail. A real crowd-pleaser.
