Bombay Sapphire
by admin on Mar.16, 2007, under gin, spirit
Background: Um. It comes in a blue bottle. It's gin. (Can you tell I'm not a gin drinker?) Flavoured with ten botanical ingredients.
Nose: Juniper and citrus.
Taste: Juniper and rubbing alcohol. Lemon overtones. Finish is short and junipery.
Nose: Spice notes become apparent.
Taste: More lemony, some herbal (liquorice) undertones; better balance.
Overall: The flavour has real potential, but the sharp spiritiness is off-putting. Good as a mixer.
