Bombay Sapphire Premier Cru

Star of Bombay is a gin, created by Nikolas Fordham and inspired by the original from 1761. It is produced in Laverstoke Mill (England).

Contains 10 botanicals selected from different exotic places around the world.

Elaboration

Star of Bombay is a gin whose objective is to maximize the balance of Bombay Sapphire together with two new botanicals: Bergamot peels and Ambrette seeds. To obtain this gin, Fordham searched in the most remote places for botanical products that would enhance the gin. Bergamot is the green gold of Calabria (Italy), whose peels are dried in the sun and used in gin to provide a fragrant touch. On the other hand, Ambreta are seeds of the tropical yellow hibiscus flower grown in Ecuador, providing elegance and aroma. The slow distillation method used gives smoothness to the alcohol.

Consumption recommendation

As it is a mild alcohol, it can be drunk simply with ice. However, the ideal is to consume it in the form of Gin-tonic.

History Bombay

Bombay begins the creation of its alcohol starting with botanicals. They use up to 12 excellent quality botanicals in the distillation, suspended at the top of the stills in perforated copper baskets. This way, when the vapors of the hot alcohol rise, they carefully fuse with all the incredible flavors and aromas that the botanicals provide.
