Gin for the connisseur or a good night out
Review of Bombay Sapphire Gin by
catshark88
Advantages: Taste
Disadvantages: Not cheap
...shame, I really only tried Bombay Sapphire because it was in a really pretty bottle. I was gutted to discover that it was only a blue film on the bottle. The taste though was quite a revelation.
Bombay Sapphire is based on a recipe dating back to 1761. It is quite a complex taste and is made up of a greater range of flavours than most other gins (10 botanicals mixed in a secret balance combination, most gins have about 6). There is a clear prescence ...

You will not feel blue with sapphire
Review of Bombay Sapphire Gin by
Morgenhund
Advantages: Crisp refreshing taste
Disadvantages: bottle is actually not blue...
...purported to be gin, but Bombay Blue Sapphire. Whilst I would not advocate the long term merits of consuming it at a rate of two bottles a week - it is rather pricey for that, especially if you are a student on a budget, I would maintain that Sapphire is probably among the finest gins in Christendom.
I am a fairly seasoned gin-drinker, having quaffed all sorts of gins through from Safeways own brand (actually not the worst I have ever had), Beefeater, ...

The Sorrows of Gin Need Not Apply...
Review of Bombay Sapphire Gin by
frkurt
Advantages: Flavourful, zesty, smooth
Disadvantages: None, nada, nihil...
...had a particular affinity for Bombay Sapphire. Coming in a blue bottle (the regular Bombay comes in a clear bottle), it has a somewhat spicy aroma and flavour that sets it apart from other gins. My particular drink is the gin, tonic and ice, with a slice of lime, and the flavour mixture of lime and herbs is a particular treat after a long day, preceding a good and gracious meal.
Various friends of mine prefer their gin the martini style, with ...

Review of Bombay Sapphire Gin by
Ali1000
Advantages: Delicate complex flavour
Disadvantages: More expensive than many other brands
...found, by a mile, is Bombay Sapphire.
Gin is a distilled spirit, and was originally used by the Dutch back in the seventeenth century as a medicine to treat stomach problems, gout and gallstones. They started to flavour it with juniper to improve the taste, and for juniper's own medicinal qualities, and this is what most modern gins are still flavoured with. Gin was the original "Dutch courage", given to British troops fighting on the Continent, ...

Very Classy
Review of Bombay Sapphire Gin by
ashford
Advantages: Lovely Aroma. Nice Bottle
Disadvantages: A tad Expensive
...most highly revered gins is Bombay Sapphire Gin- a British gin in the so-called "" London Dry" style. It comes in a most attractive blue looking bottle but the sapphire blue colour actually comes from a plastic film-the bottle itself is a white transparent colour.
Why do much respected magazines and reviewers give such a high rating to Bombay Sapphire Gin ? It cant be for the sapphire blue plastic film can it ? No most decidely it is do with the ...

Bombay Dreams
Review of Bombay Sapphire Gin by
m_kingdom
Advantages: Superlative taste, finish, and quality
Disadvantages: Slightly pricier than other gins
...not such good examples. Bombay Sapphire is one that fits into the former category.
Gins are spirits made from juniper berries, and some added botanicals, e.g. angelica. However, most distillers will distill the botanicals and juniper berries together, somewhat losing the flavour of the botanicals. Bombay Sapphire distill the juniper berries, then pass the vapour throught the botanicals, releasing their delicate flavour.
The slightly higher ...

RUBY TUESDAY
Review of Bombay Sapphire Gin by
JeffreyB
Advantages: Exclusivity (produce of England)
Disadvantages: ?
Bombay Sapphire royalty amongst other English distilled Gins. The dry gin is distilled from 100% grain spirit from a 1761 recipe. And sold at 40% proof by vol.
THE PROCESS
The incomparable taste of Bombay Sapphire is the result of ten carefully selected botanical ingredients coupled with a unique distillation process distillation process. Unlike some gins, which “boil” their botanicals together with the spirit, Bombay sapphire distils its spirit ...

Amazing Quality Gin
Review of Bombay Sapphire Gin by
Friendly_Bartender
Advantages: Everything, From Taste, To Aroma, & A Cool Looking Bottle
Disadvantages: Bars/Pubs overcharge for this gin when it doesn't cost that much more.
I've always liked gin, first drinking Gordon's, but then one day picked up the bottle, mostly because it had a cool looking bottle.
Once I opened the bottle and smelled the aroma, I knew it was gold.
It is one of the best gin's on the market. New Amsterdam Gin and Tanquery Gin is also a very good brand.
The best way I enjoy it is many ways. One is in a rock glass with no ice and 7up or Sprite. Squeeze a lime wedge and drop it into the glass.
Another ...

Review of Bombay Sapphire Gin by
wfiona
Advantages: The best gin in the world
Disadvantages: More expensive than most brands
...a beautiful blue bottle called Bombay Sapphire Gin.
We instantly fell in love, not only did it taste fabulous but it looked so stylish.
On our way through Changi Airport we used up our duty free allowance on nothing but, yes u guessed it, Bombay Sapphire Gin.
We have never looked back, we always use it, in cocktails as well. But for a good g & t always use schweppes tonic, the supermarket ones just don't cut the mustard.
Now for the practical ...
