Bombay Sapphire East Gin

Bombay Sapphire East is a triple-distilled, vapor-infused gin built on the classic Bombay Sapphire botanical set with two Asian additions — Thai lemongrass and Vietnamese black peppercorn — for a brighter, spicier, more aromatic take on the London Dry style.

Like the original Bombay Sapphire, East is made by vapor infusion: the spirit is distilled and its vapors passed through baskets of botanicals to draw out flavor and aroma gently, rather than boiling the botanicals directly. The two extra botanicals — lemongrass and black peppercorn — are an homage to Asia and give East a livelier citrus-and-spice lift that makes it especially good in a Gin & Tonic. Enjoy on the rocks or mixed.
