After introducing English Estate in 2019, Bombay Sapphire is releasing the second addition to its Special Editions series with Bombay Sapphire Sunset. This new gin spirit is said to have been inspired by the "mellow heat and orange glow of the setting sun’," and it boasts a higher ABV at 43%. Along with Bombay Sapphire’s 10 core botanicals, there are other botanical additions in this expression, such as golden turmeric, Indian white cardamom and Spanish mandarin. The result is said to be warm yet refreshing and balanced thanks to the sweetness of citrus and the slight hint of heat from the warming spices.
The new gin spirit has the potential to inspire the creation of many creative cocktails and the brand says it's perfect for both late-afternoon apéritif occasions and evening consumption.
