Product Description
Bombay Sapphire stands out for its delicate yet bold flavor profile, achieved through a special vapour infusion technique. This method places the botanicals in copper baskets above the base spirit, allowing the vapors to pass through them, preserving their delicate oils and essences. The result is a smooth and aromatic gin with a refreshing taste. This gin contains 10 botanicals, including juniper, lemon peel, and coriander, which come together to create a balanced, citrusy, and spicy profile.
