Bombay Sapphire 20 CL
Bombay Sapphire 20 CL is one of the world’s most recognised premium gins. An elegant, fresh and highly aromatic London Dry Gin that has become a benchmark in international cocktail culture thanks to its balance and distinctive botanical profile.
This 20 cl bottle is perfect for tastings, gifts or for enjoying a premium gin in a more practical format. At Licorea, we believe it remains one of the most interesting gins for those seeking a dry, clean and highly versatile style.
A gin inspired by the classic London Dry style
Bombay Sapphire is produced following the London Dry Gin style, known for its dry, clean profiles dominated by natural botanicals.
Its recipe uses ten botanicals carefully selected from different parts of the world. These include juniper berries, almonds, angelica root, coriander seeds, liquorice, cassia bark and lemon peel.
One of the most recognisable aspects of Bombay Sapphire is precisely its balance. No single botanical dominates excessively over the others.
The result is a very fresh and aromatic gin, with citrus and spice notes perfectly integrated.
Vapour infusion distillation
Unlike many traditional gins, Bombay Sapphire uses a vapour infusion system during distillation.
The botanicals are not boiled directly in the alcohol. Instead, the vapour carefully passes through a basket containing the natural ingredients, slowly extracting their aromas and essential oils.
This method helps achieve a much smoother, finer and more balanced profile.
Within our category of premium gins, Bombay Sapphire stands out precisely for that clean and elegant character that has made it a regular feature in bars and cocktail lounges around the world.
Aromatic profile and character
On the nose, fresh notes of juniper, citrus and gentle spices appear alongside herbal nuances and a subtle floral background.
On the palate it offers a dry and balanced entry, with citrus presence and a clean finish where the botanical notes return.
Its texture is light and highly versatile, making it ideal both for gin and tonic and for a wide range of classic cocktails.
Many gin enthusiasts especially appreciate how easily it pairs with different tonics and botanical garnishes without losing its own personality.
Practical 20 CL format
The 20 CL bottle is ideal for those wishing to try Bombay Sapphire before purchasing larger formats.
It is also highly practical for travel, gifts or small tasting packs related to the world of gin.
The translucent blue bottle design preserves the brand’s classic and elegant identity even in this smaller format.
A gin strongly linked to cocktail culture
Bombay Sapphire is one of the most widely used gins in modern mixology thanks to its balanced and easy-to-work-with profile.
It works beautifully in a classic gin and tonic served with lemon or lime peel. It also fits perfectly in cocktails such as the Dry Martini, Negroni or Tom Collins.
Its balance between citrus, spice and herbal notes allows the creation of very fresh combinations without the alcohol becoming overpowering.
A global benchmark in premium gin
Since its launch, Bombay Sapphire has established itself as one of the most popular premium gins on the international market.
Its elegant and approachable style has helped introduce new consumers to the world of gin, especially during the rise of the premium gin and tonic trend.
At Licorea, we believe this Bombay Sapphire 20 CL remains an excellent option for those seeking a balanced, aromatic and easy-drinking gin, perfect both neat and in cocktails.
