Bombay Sapphire Sunset Special Edition

Released as one of Bombay Sapphire's seasonal special editions, Sunset takes the cue for its name from the colours and warmth of dusk. To the familiar ten Bombay botanicals it adds golden turmeric, Indian white cardamom and mandarin zest, lending the gin a spiced depth the classic doesn't reach. Bottled a touch stronger at 43%, it is built for drinks that play floral against spice, with every botanical drawn out through the house steam-infusion method.

The nose leads with fresh citrus and tangerine before warm cardamom and turmeric arrive. The palate is soft and complex, juniper and citrus freshness threaded with floral nuance and spiced warmth, and the finish is long and harmonious with a gentle dryness. Mix it into a sundowner G&T with a floral tonic and orange zest, or build a Sunset Negroni for the golden hour.
