Bombay Sapphire Gin (47%)

A sweet and fun gin with a mild pine flavor. Leaves a certain warmth and makes your mouth pucker a bit. Would make a great gin and tonic.

Aroma: hint of a earth scent maybe pine or birch taste: hint of sweetness, smooth & long lasting taste

Another high proof gin at 47% abv, Bombay Sapphire is a really mellow and approachable taste. The infusions are mild and yet varied enough to be interesting and are well adjusted to the standard juniper to maintain an effective balance. I actually had to check the bottle to make sure it was the high proof , it really is that easy, smooth and burn free. Bombay sapphire is probably overlooked often for more esoteric botanicals and probably shouldn't be. This is a real workhorse gin that can be about anything you truly need except for very dry, which it certainly is not. I'm going to have to reevaluate this one at the end of my gin reviews to see if it isn't worthy of higher marks, For a clean, unassuming and yet strong gin, you could do far worse. Cheers!

My go-to gin for Martinis
