The beauty of Bombay Sapphire Gin is in the taste. The botanicals are nicely balanced and add a crispness to the spirit. The ingredients are an international affair and include Italian juniper berries and orris root, Spanish almonds and lemons, grains of paradise from West Africa, Chinese liquorice and cassia bark, angelica from Saxony, Moroccan coriander, and cubeb berries from Java. The recipe was inspired by one from 1761 and it is a delight to have a gin such as this revived from the beginning of English gins.
