About this deal

In 1987, Bombay Sapphire (40% ABV) was launched with two botanicals added to the original recipe, cubeb berries and grains of paradise. The gin has more juniper aromas, with citrus, and spice sweetness, along with sweetness from the cassia bark which is supported by cubeb berries and grains of paradise. When inviting friends and family around for summer events, we always want to ensure they all receive a tasty, consistent tipple in a timely manner, right? Bombay Sapphire is at the heart of the finest gin & tonics. The brand's famous balance and versatile gin is a unique combination of 10 sustainably sourced botanicals, each personally chosen by our master of botanicals, Ivano Tonnuti perfect to inspire ‘curiously minded drinkers’. The heart of Bombay Sapphire is in the United Kingdom, in the town of Laverstoke, where the distillery is located. How is this gin made? When you go to serve, simply whisk again, shake what you require with ice, strain into the serving glasses and top with the prosecco then garnish. Enjoy!

Star of Bombay โดยคัดสรร พืช สมุนไพร และส่วนผสมท้องถิ่น เข้ากันกับรสชาติของส่วนผสมจากต่างแดนแต่ตัวลงในเครื่องดื่มและอาหารที่ให้ความสำคัญทั้งในมุมของรสชาติและรูปแบบการนำเสนอ ไม่ว่าจะเป็นฟิงเกอร์แซนวิชที่อัดแน่นไปด้วยวัตถุดิบชั้นดีทั้งเนื้อปูและแตงกวา อีกหนึ่งเมนูคือชีสเกาดารมควันที่เสิร์ฟพร้อมกับสลัดปลาหมึกที่ปรุงรสด้วยซอสเรลิชสูตรพิเศษของเชฟ และเมนูสุดท้ายพิเมนโตชีสจากประเทศสเปนที่นำมากินคู่กับไข่ปลาคาเวียร์สด ซึ่งทั้งหมดนี้จะถูกเสิร์ฟให้แก่ในค่ำคืนนั้นโดยเฉพาะ The Bombay peeps recommend a 50/50 Star of Bombay to tonic ratio, served with a twist of orange peel. I adore this, as I like my G&Ts on the bolder (stronger!) side.

To differentiate the brand, Absolut Vodka’s Michel Roux came up with a revolutionary marketing campaign. His plan: make a big fuss about the botanicals — decades before “artisanal” spirits became a trend. Today, Bombay’s master of botanicals Ivano Tonutti maintains personal relationships with farms and suppliers and carefully safeguards the recipe, which consists of up to 12 botanicals. On the palate, the loudness/amplified aromatic character is readily accessible. Hibiscus and a light floral note up front, the mid-palate is angelica and juniper, becoming a bit peppery and earthier on the finish. Coriander certainly, a bit loudly, but also darkened by bitter citrus rind, grains of paradise/cubeb, even a note of anise/licorice and other unresolved spice, finishing in the muddy low notes with an almost aperitif like bitterness. Overall Add gin, vermouth and bitters and stir with a bar spoon until frost forms on the surface of the shaker. The instant I tasted it I knew Nik had created a winner. Maybe it was the pronounced juniper or the elevated ABV (47.5%), or perhaps my dazzling surroundings at the time (distillery geek right here!).

We knew we wanted to something different over and above just adding a new botanical, so we used 2 different types of juniper, regular juniper communis and juvenile (younger berries) greener juniper, which give more pine notes.” Botanicals Star of Bombay London Dry Gin has a loud, highly aromatic nose with coriander and angelica loud and clear just as in standard Bombay Sapphire. Pine and juniper evident a bit lower, as crystalline pine needles on an icy morning with a stiff jolt of bitter citrus. Really quite nice, although not a far cry from your standard Sapphire. Maybe Star of Bombay London Dry Gin is just louder— not that different. Juniper, coriander, grains of paradise, lemon peel, cubeb berries, orris root, almonds, cassia bark, liquorice, angelica, (the key botanicals of Bombay Sapphire) are joined by bergamot and ambrette seeds to produce a spicier, earthier gin.
