Bombay Sapphire, a preferred brand for London Dry Gin, is recognized for its creamy, textural taste as well as its unique blue bottle. The gin is created with ten botanicals sourced from different corners of the world, using, for example, juniper berries that are hand-picked in Italy, coriander seeds that are grown in Morocco, and grains of paradise that are obtained from the lands of West Africa. Many gins, in contrast to Bombay Sapphire, practice a distillation process to obtain the flavors of the botanicals. This approach may not only create a more potent smell but has a heavier character, which is unsuitable for traditional cocktails such as the gin and tonic, martini, or Tom Collins. A mere 47% alcohol by volume (ABV) does not make it a heavyweight, but it has some elegance.
