Bombay Sapphire’s – Star Of Bombay

BOMBAY SAPPHIRE, the world’s number one premium gin, has launched STAR OF BOMBAY, a new, super premium gin slowly distilled to create a spirit of extraordinary beauty.

Produced in small quantities entirely at Laverstoke Mill in Hampshire, England, Bombay Sapphire’s Master Distiller, Nik Fordham, was inspired by the innovative distillery and Thomas Heatherwick-designed glasshouses to create a new expression of the BOMBAY signature style, with a distinctive, intriguing character of its very own.

Working together with the Master of Botanicals, he searched the world for new botanicals that could play in harmony with the original BOMBAY SAPPHIRE recipe. The recipe for STAR OF BOMBAY begins with the eight precious botanicals that lie at the heart of all BOMBAY gins: Juniper, Coriander, Lemon Peel, Orris, Angelica, Almonds, Liquorice and Cassia Bark, and lifts them to a new dimension, while also adding two new botanicals.

Gently dried bergamot orange peel, sourced from the mountains of Calabria, Southern Italy, provides a fragrant, rich citrus note; while the floral-musk of ambrette seeds, from the tropical yellow hibiscus flower grown in Ecuador, supply a singular graceful elegance.

In addition to the added botanicals, the elegant liquid captured in each bottle is achieved by slowing down the signature Vapour Infusion process, to increase the level of extraction from the botanicals, building richer aromas and more intense flavours.

STAR OF BOMBAY can be found at selected Irish stockists at the recommended retail price of €46.99.
