✨ Tekniske specifikationer
While Bombay Sapphire is a world-renowned London Dry Gin rather than a traditional wine, its production is steeped in artisanal craftsmanship. Launched in 1987, it revitalized the gin category with its distinctive translucent blue bottle, named in honor of the Star of Bombay sapphire. Distilled at the historic Laverstoke Mill in Hampshire, England, this spirit utilizes a unique vapor-infusion process. Instead of boiling the botanicals directly in the spirit, the grain alcohol vapor passes through copper baskets containing ten hand-selected botanicals—including juniper berries, grains of paradise, coriander, cubeb berries, and almond. This delicate method coaxes out bright, floral, and citrusy aromatic oils, resulting in a remarkably smooth, balanced, and complex London Dry style.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Bombay Sapphire blev lanceret i 1986 af International Distillers & Vintners og opkøbt af Bacardi i 1997, hvorved mærket revolutionerede moderne gindestillation. Produktionen har til huse på det historisk fredede Laverstoke Mill i Hampshire – en tidligere pengeseddelmølle, der spænder over floden Test. Hvor traditionel London Dry Gin fremstilles ved at koge botanicals direkte i neutral sprit, anvender Bombay Sapphire særlige Carterhead-kobberkedler til en skånsom dampinfusion. Alkoholdampene stiger op igennem perforerede kobberkurve fyldt med ti bæredygtigt fremskaffede botanicals: toscanske enebær, korianderfrø, kvanrod, lakridsrod, orrisrod, spanske mandler, citronskal, kassiabark, kublebær og vestafrikanske paradiskorn. Destillationen ledes af Master Distiller Dr. Anne Brock og resulterer i en usædvanlig elegant, aromatisk og frisk profil. Husstilen er kendetegnet ved sit rene, florale løft, sine livlige nuancer af citrusskal og en varmende, pebret finale, anført af det ikoniske flagskib Bombay Sapphire London Dry Gin.
