Bombay Sapphire brought me back to gin. I was a Tanqueray. Boodles and Beefeater person, with none quite knocking me out and all eventually becoming a bit boring. Then along came Sapphire, Citadelle and Tanqueray 10, all different; all refreshing my to my taste buds.
Bombay Sapphire was our gateway gin and our first loved gin, which led us to make our own Back River Gin. This is a good review, although my mileage with this gin definitely varied. It was much sweeter and more flowery not floral, mind you, but flowery than I remembered.
I used to buy the cheap gins and then decided that if I was going to drink I should drink the good stuff so I switched to Bombay. I was stunned at how low quality it was compared to Blue Coat. Really stunned but it made me relize I had been getting great gins and would never go back to Bombay after this bottle. Just ice and soda, none of those sweet and sickly mixes to adulterate the taste.
Straight soda allows the subtle flavors to make themselves felt. Ah well. This a pure drink mate! Fresh out of the river. I quit smoking just to taste it better. However, it is all about how you learn to drink this bastard I tell ya! But, it is less hard than vodka and the hangover is less dreadful than rum. So, therefore, I say this is a gem that is waiting to be discovered! So, pretty much, this is the Gin equivalent of Fat Tire amber ale. A gateway to higherr alcohol, rather than a pinnacle, that remains in the minds of drinkers as a reasonably high quality, reasonably priced beverage.
Not the absolute best, by far, but a starting point to usher us peebles into a new eschelon of alcoholic enjoyment. Great review. First cocktail I ever had was a Bombay and tonic and I fell in love instantly. But then I came back to Bombay. I loved Bombay Sapphire from the very first Martini that I had made. Sapphire stands alone to me as the gin of choice in a martini as does Absolut in a vodka martini!
I can no longer drink alcohol due to a stroke and my meds but allowed in a limited way some wine. I will be forever grateful for those times I enjoyed a Bombay Sapphire martini. Those were the days my friend! I am Using this stuff for years as aftershave. Also, when traveling, I have always some emergency booze in my bag. Firstly, thank you for your review, and excellent website. I have tried to find a better substitute in that time.
I always come back to Bombay Sapphire. I know that taste is a personal matter, but I truly believe that it deserves at least 4 stars, as it absolutely shines in a well made Martini.

Performance performance. At a time when many were enjoying pop music and making questionable hair decisions, Bombay took branding and production in an entirely new direction.
By focusing on flavor, Bombay paved the way for the bevvy of artisanal, craft, garden-patch-in-a-glass gins we know and love today. Originally from Sri Lanka, the carat gem has a permanent home in the Smithsonian and was once a gift to pioneering Hollywood powerhouse Mary Pickford producer, co-founder of United Artists, and Tinseltown legend.
