Nose
Trademark coriander and green juniper highlighted with zesty lemon — subtle lemon oil with woody facets, mandarin visible underneath
Palate
More earthy and peppery than citrus-forward — cracked white pepper, bitter orange zest, juniper and coriander build into bitter citrus complexity
Finish
Long and quite dry with a woody, peppery tang — candied lemon peel and slightly bitter pith
Expert Review
8/10Bombay Sapphire's premium citrus expression — Murcian lemons from Spain's Murcia region alongside mandarin, all vapour-infused at 47%. More gin with lemon than lemon gin.
