Bombay Sapphire Gin 1.75L. Bombay Spirits Company — the same vapor-infused 10-botanical London Dry in a 1.75L format, built for home bars and frequent entertainers.
Bombay Sapphire was introduced in 1986, built on a recipe inspired by a 1761 formula. Its defining characteristic is the vapor infusion method: alcohol vapors rise through a copper Carter Head still and pass through a basket of ten suspended botanicals, gently extracting their aromatic oils without the harsh extraction that direct maceration can produce. The result is a gin that's distinctly lighter and more aromatic than most London Drys.
The ten botanicals span five continents — Tuscan juniper, Spanish lemon peel, Moroccan coriander, Saxony angelica, Tuscan orris root, Chinese licorice, Spanish almonds, Javanese cubeb berries, West African grains of paradise, and cassia bark. Each is sourced from the specific region where it grows best, contributing clearly defined notes of citrus, spice, and floral complexity that work exceptionally well in a G&T or Martini.
The 1.75L format delivers everything Bombay Sapphire does in the 750ml, scaled for those who go through it regularly. At 47% ABV it holds up in cocktails without getting lost.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Sweet and aromatic — bright lemon zest and citrus upfront, with classic juniper, soft almond, and hints of Indian spice and black pepper.
- Palate: Initially light and delicate, turning spicy and complex at mid-palate. Coriander, peppery cubeb berries, and the warm heat of grains of paradise emerge alongside piney juniper and creamy citrus.
- Finish: Long and satisfying — licorice and almond linger alongside peppery spice and a crisp, refreshing pine note.
