BOMBAY SAPPHIRE introduces STAR OF BOMBAY, a new, super premium small batch gin, slowly distilled to create a spirit of extraordinary beauty. Produced in small batches entirely at the Bombay Sapphire Distillery, Laverstoke Mill, Hampshire, England, Master Distiller, Nik Fordham was inspired by the innovative, new gin distillery and Thomas Heatherwick designed glass houses to create a new expression of the BOMBAY signature style, yet with a distinctive, intriguing character of its very own.
Master of Botanicals, Ivano Tonutti and his team were instrumental in sourcing new, exotic ingredients that could play in harmony with the original recipe. Gently dried Bergamot orange peel 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 graceful elegance, lifting the precious botanicals at the heart of all BOMBAY gins to a new dimension.
In addition to the added botanicals, the elegant liquid captured in each bottle is created by slowing down the signature Vapour Infusion process to increase the level of extraction from the botanicals, building richer aromas and more intense flavours. The character and complexity of STAR OF BOMBAY allow the liquid to be savoured neat or over ice.
