Bombay Citron Pressé Distilled Gin

Bombay Sapphire's Citron Pressé takes the brand's vapour-infused house style and points it squarely at the lemon. Freshly squeezed lemons join the usual ten botanicals, layering juicy citrus over the recognisable Bombay backbone of juniper, coriander and angelica. The result reads brighter and rounder than the flagship, without losing its dry, herbal poise.

The nose is all fresh lemon, with a hint of herbs and delicate blossom behind. The palate is refreshing and lively, clear citrus given a touch of sweetness and a fine herbal spice that keeps things grown-up. It finishes long and cool, with a mineral edge that reads almost like lemon sorbet. Serve with a light tonic and a slice of lemon, a sprig of mint tucked alongside.
