Bombay Sapphire
London Dry
Specification
Style — London Dry
Bottle — 1000 ml
A London Dry at 47%, so juniper leads: piny, resinous, clean. Dry citrus peel and a peppery coriander-seed lift follow, with the warmth you'd expect from the extra strength. The finish is crisp and bitter-edged rather than sweet. Bombay Sapphire drinks bolder neat than the standard bottling.
Serve — suggested, not sourced
Tonic — Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water, 1:2 — the 47% carries the longer pour
Garnish — Lemon peel twist
Martini
gin · dry vermouth · lemon
Stirred cold with dry vermouth, strained, lemon twist.
Why this gin — Bombay Sapphire's London Dry juniper backbone and 47% strength hold their shape against vermouth and dilution.
