Bombay Sapphire London Dry Gin
A truly iconic gin with a creative spirit. Combining the expertise of our master of botanicals and master distiller and produced from an original 1761 recipe, this is a gin with fresh, bright citrus notes, a lively juniper character and an elegant, light spicy finish. Sustainably sourced from the very best growers around the world, they extract the truest flavour from our 10 hand-selected botanicals using a unique vapour infusion process.
Bombay Dry Gin
Using eight exotic botanicals, Bombay Sapphire’s classic London dry gin offers a more traditional taste with strong juniper flavours and a powerful dry finish. Bombay dry is still based on the same time-honoured recipe from 1761. Their unique vapour infusion process, used to distil all Bombay gins, delicately extracts the best from each botanical.
Bombay Sapphire East
Created using an artisan Vapour Infusion distillation method and adding two new botanicals to the original Bombay Sapphire. Gin historical recipe; crisp Thai Lemongrass and spicy Vietnamese Black Peppercorn, Bombay Sapphire East Gin will take the senses on a journey unlike any other. The 12 exotic botanicals, in Bombay Sapphire East gin include: Juniper Berries, Coriander Seeds, Liquorice Root, Almonds, Lemon Peel, Cassia Bark, Orris Root, Angelica Root, Cubeb Berries, Grains of Paradise, Lemon Grass and Black Peppercorns While most gins are made by boiling botanicals in neutral grain spirit, Bombay Sapphire East gin is created through a unique Vapour Infusion process that combines the botanicals with the spirit while it is still in vapour form. The result is a classic London dry gin that is incomparably smooth, nuanced and flavourful.
Bombay Bramble Distilled Gin
Inspired by the modern classic gin cocktail the bramble; Bombay Bramble is a bold distilled gin with the 100% natural flavour of freshly harvested blackberries and raspberries. This is perfectly balanced with the vibrant juniper notes of Bombay Sapphire’s Classic signature gin. A real fruit infusion gives a distinct colour and natural flavour with no added sugar.
Bombay Sapphire Sunset Gin

Bombay Sapphire Premier Cru Murcian Lemon Gin
The finest sustainably-sourced Spanish citrus fruits brings vibrant flavours to this small-batch gin, made to make any occasion instantly more special. Against the classic Bombay Sapphire taste, this expression beautifully balances sweet orange and mandarin, while allowing the vibrancy of Bombay Sapphire's signature Murcian lemons to shine through. Each distillation is precisely cut by our master distiller to ensure utmost flavour and quality year on year.
Bombay Sapphire English Estate Gin
Bombay Sapphire English Estate is a limited edition gin based on the hugely popular Bombay Sapphire London Dry Gin. Infused with the three new botanicals: Rosehip, Pennyroyal Mint and toasted Hazelnut, and inspired by the surrounding area of their home at Laverstoke Mill - Hampshire. Whilst ordinary gins boil their botanicals directly in the spirit to achieve their flavour, the taste of Bombay Sapphire gin is created through the Vapour Infusion process.
Star of Bombay Gin
This Gin is a variation of Bombay's bestselling gin Bombay Sapphire, but with Bergamot orange peel from Calabria in southern Italy and Ambrette seed from Ecuador – on top of the 10 botanicals used in Sapphire. The new special edition Star of Bombay gin is also presented in a modern bottle which follows a number of gins in selling in a bottle with exquisite detail.Further information:
