Bombay Sapphire Gin has an aroma of earthy orris root, followed by juniper, citrus, and spices.. The entry is tart, with a palate of juniper berries, cassia bark, and orris root. The finish includes juniper, coriander, and spices. Bombay Sapphire Gin's dominant orris root flavor can be overpowering and is not recommended straight. However, Bombay Sapphire Gin mixes well in traditional gin drinks like martinis and gin and tonics.
