Bombay Sapphire Star of Bombay Gin 700mL
Bombay Sapphire Star of Bombay is only produced a very few bottles at any given time. With good reason. Because, in order to create such a high-end spirit, it involves not only a very long, particular process but also virtuosic attention to detail.
Bombay Sapphire’s existing signature botanicals – Juniper, Coriander, Lemon Peel, Orris, Angelica, Cubeb Berries, Grains of Paradise, Almonds, Liquorice and Cassia Bark – are introduced to two new hand-selected botanicals: gently dried Bergamot Orange Peel, sourced from the Calabrian mountains – which lends a hint of spicy citrus – and aromatic Ecuadorian Ambrette Seeds – that give a floral muskiness.
Rare, indeed. It’s perhaps also why the attention to detail that has gone into producing Star of Bombay has also been extended to the bottle’s beautiful multi-faceted slim-tapered design, a collector’s item in itself.

Bombay Sapphire Star of Bombay 700mL 700mL 40% ABV
Bombay Sapphire Star of Bombay is only produced a few bottles at a time. It really is a rare, top end spirit. In operation for almost three and half centuries, the Bombay Sapphire gin stills of distilling pioneer Thomas Dakin are the stuff of legend. Which is why, when the stills first became ensconced at the Laverstoke Mill in Hampershire, England, it was quite the watershed moment for Bombay Sapphire – one which inspired Master Distiller Nik Fordham to consider an inspired new variation on Dakin’s original 1761 recipe. Unlike other gins – who sometimes crudely boil their botanicals – all the flavour notes in Bombay Sapphire Star of Bombay are slowly vapour-infused through a copper basket, under carefully controlled temperatures and then meticulously tested to ensure each essence is perfectly captured. The result is a gin like no other available in the Australian market. Boasting a bottle strength of 47.5 % ABV, it is a truly elegant spirit, one alive with bright, fresh aromas. As Master Distiller Nik Fordham puts it, “Star of Bombay possesses an extraordinarily smooth and supple character, making it feel more like an aged spirit in the mouth – which is why it can be drunk neat over ice. That’s quite rare for a gin.”Price / Unit | Bottle |
