Elaboration
Bombay Sapphire is independently distilled in the four unique Carterhead stills that exist in the world. To achieve a unique flavor, the alcohol passes through 10 botanical ingredients including juniper, almonds, grains of paradise, lemon zest, licorice, orris root, angelica, coriander, cassia and cubeb berries, in the form of vapor, allowing it to absorb all the fragrances. The result is a complex and subtle aroma.
This gin was launched in 1987, although the original recipe dates back to 1761.

Recommended Serving
To prepare a Bombay Sapphire Gin and Tonic, you will need a balloon glass or alternatively, a wide-mouthed glass or cup.
Balloon glasses are ideal because they have a capacity of 60-70 cl. to be able to hold the necessary ice, gin, and tonic.
The wide mouth of this glass allows us to perfectly capture the aromas and flavors of this drink.
Additionally, a glass allows us to hold it by the stem, preventing us from warming up the Gin and Tonic with our hands, which is why this drink should never be served in a highball glass.
