Bombay Sapphire

Bombay Sapphire was launched in 1987, aiming to revitalize the gin category with its distinctive flavor and striking bottle design. It quickly became a global success, appealing to both seasoned gin drinkers and those new to the spirit. The gin’s name is inspired by the Star of Bombay, a 182-carat sapphire that’s now part of the Smithsonian Institution’s collection. The blue bottle reflects the gem’s color and the exotic origins of some of its botanicals.
