Bombay Original London Dry Gin (40%)
London Dry Gin — England
Reviewed March 18, 2022 (edited June 16, 2024)Floral, spice and lemon carry it. A good amount of juniper. More harsh than Sapphire but I like it. Better G&T than Sapphire but I think Sapphire would make a better martini. Slightly lower proof than Sapphire -
Nose: Similar to WT 101 with vanilla and corn, but with a new element from the mesquite Taste: Starts dry, oak and root flavor (think root beer). Balanced with some charcoal (mesquite coming through?). Slightly sweet with light burn. Finish: Slick and smoother than 101 without the signature burn, but with a smokier finish Old Fashioned: Less punch than a 101 old fashioned due to the lower proof and older age, but the mesquite adds a new element. I'd like to try this with cherry rather than citrus.
