The new super premium expression from The Bombay Spirits Company. Star of Bombay is a refined London Dry gin, slowly distilled for a smooth and rich taste. The addition of Bergamot from Calabria and Ambrette Seeds from Ecuador add notes of rich citrus and floral to this exceptional gin. Perfect enjoyed in a Gin & Tonic using 1 part Star of Bombay to 1 part premium tonic water and garnished with a twist of orange zest.
Aroma: Rooty and earthy with fresh juniper berries, Christmas tree pine, musky and nutty, freshened with coriander, orange oils and elegant spice.
Taste: Pine is more prevalent with coriander and strong rooty, earthy and musky notes. Sapphire-like pepper adds to the punchy alcohol spice.
Aftertaste: Rooty, earthy and musky notes come to the fore in the long finish which fades with pronounced pine and a lingering bitter bark note.
Overall: Rooty and spicy with relatively subdued juniper. A digestif gin perhaps.
