Bombay Sapphire’s particular version releases proceed with Premier Cru Murcian Lemon, which is infused with Fino lemons from Murcia, Spain alongside extra mandarin and navel oranges to brighten up the citrus high quality of the spirit.
Not like a few of Bombay’s different particular releases, resembling East, the affect of the extra citrus right here is notable and impactful. The nostril is immediately lemony with out coming throughout as candylike within the slightest, taking the form of lime leaf at instances, with distinct mandarin aromas seen. Whereas frivolously earthy the way in which any good gin must be, juniper takes a transparent again seat whereas the fruit does extra of the heavy lifting.
I’ve comparable opinions in regards to the palate, which is equally exuberant and fruit-driven, giving room for piney juniper to shine alongside ample lemon and orange notes. Hints of grapefruit and a grind of white pepper add extra of a spice component to the proceedings, whereas a delicate sweetness offers the gin a bit extra approachability. Lemonade vibes, for positive, and the rumbling earthiness seen on the nostril by no means actually materializes right here, leaving you with a palate that’s totally clear and barely inexperienced.
Followers of extra citrus-driven Plymouth ought to test this out — as ought to everybody actually. It really works marvels in all kinds of cocktails, however Bombay positions it as an ideal ingredient in a French 75.
