Which is the best Bombay Sapphire Gin?!!!

[@Joe.Shmo.Eskimo]

I absolutely love the look of Bombay Sapphire bottles, it's one of my favorite bottles of any spirit, but it's just such a letdown that such a pretty bottle holds such disappointing gin.

[@nononsensegindrinking5152]

I completely agree Joe. Beautiful bottle, terrible gin 😟

[@Maar_maarten]

@@nononsensegindrinking5152 what cheap options would you recogmend instead?

[@Zofer-1920]

I’m a tequila/mezcal, Scotch & bourbon drinker. I enjoy your enthusiasm! Branching out into gin and enjoying your videos on the range of gins out there! San Diego, CA

[@SharonLeeMaloof]

“ I enjoy the “ Sapphire East “ even more.”” Both styles work out fine.”🤗🤗.”

[@barneyh5314]

The blue bottles look very upscale. I'd recommend either of them to college men seeking to impress college gals when they come up to their rooms or apartments. When they have finished the bottle, the bottle can be reused and refilled with a discount gin like London Tower or Crystal Palace. I doubt many coeds would appreciate the difference. When I was in school, a friend of mine did the same thing with reusing a wine bottle in the 1970's.

[@bjornb4696]

Same experience here. I like the London Dry Gin edition more than blue Sapphire edition, which have a rather strange taste with all its ingredients. The LDG are very common in supermarkets here in DK, so not rare at all

[@oldschoolcop8568]

I personally love this gin.

[@kerrykalls2254]

Isn't Gin likely the most subjective taste spirit possible, considering the numerous notes you could add via herbs, flavor notes, etc?

[@Jack-zj1ug]

I would have to agree

[@andrescaro2404]

I've never been overly excited over Bombay but seeing this video made me rather curious towards English Estate and I must agree with you, it is indeed very pleasant to drink! Thanks for that, if it wasn't for this video maybe I would've never been motivated on giving it a try

[@darkdialga777]

I love your enthusiasm!

[@Wreneagle]

Thanks for the review! I'd be interested is to see a comparison between the standard versions of the main gins. Standard Tanqueray, versus standard Bombay vs. Standard Beefeater (and maybe other ubiquitous brands I am forgetting). I really appreciate how you often not only give your opinion about which is your favorite but also the subtle differences in flavor which is really helpful when trying to figure out which gin to use in what kind of cocktails! Anyway, cheers.

[@nononsensegindrinking5152]

Hi Ian Glad my videos are helpful! That’s a great idea to do a comparison of the mainstream. Look out for it coming soon! 👍👍

I just tried the original yesterday and enjoyed it for the most part with tonic but it has a strange pepery after taste . does any of the other varieties have the same first sip taste without the weird after taste in your opinion?

[@Namka19]

Hope you will try the new flavored gin from Bombay, the one with the blackberry and raspberry

Great review Bobby! I wish I could have tried the English garden. I haven’t seen that one! As I mentioned previously, I love the Bombay original!

Yeah I’d be surprised if English Garden makes it accords the pond unfortunately 😞😞

[@hman9581]

Please speak of them in terms of the details of taste, flavours and aromas.

[@jeffhildreth9244]

Beefeater (except Beef 24) any day over Bombay. Did a taste test again with the remainder of a bottle of Sapphire, (my neighbor's favorite).. Anemic but ok. Their way of serving Bombay G & T is 1 1/2 oz Sapphire.. 5 ounces Fever Tree.

[@ryanvargas4889]

I usually pay about 28-30$ US for the 175.L. (Love the Dry/OG.!)

[@meowtrox1234]

Living in the PH this is a smoother option for mixing with tonic or to make your own infusion.

[@frostzone548]

Same like u bobby i hate the standard bombay. Imo it doesnt have great flavour and its just bitter, now i cant wait to finish it in order to move on to other bottles of gins i have.

[@jasonnickelsen845]

Love your channel Bobby. Thanks for the review of the Bombay Sapphire East. Because of one of your reviews I picked up Brokers Gin, which was under $20 here in the US. I was not disappointed. Great inexpensive gin! There is another gin that I am curious about. It is called Bummer & Lazarus gin. There is a unique story behind the name of the gin which I found interesting. I have not tried it as of yet, but it is on my list as to the gins that I want to try. I'm not sure if its available in your neck of the woods, but I thought it would be an interesting gin to review.

[@nononsensegindrinking5152]

Jason Nickelsen Hey Jason! Thanks very much and so glad you enjoy the channel. That gin sounds fascinating! What a strange name! I will definitely add it to the list and do my absolute best to find some over here. Thanks for the recommendation Jason! 😊😫

[@hristina24]

The original is not my cup of tea, but I would love to taste the English Estate edition, I'm afraid I ll like it and I won't be able to find it later on. Thanks for lettin us know Bobby 😊 keep it up 👏

[@nononsensegindrinking5152]

No problem Χριστινα Κ ! 👍👍

[@TheFeralBachelor]

I agree with you about the Bombay East. I tried it before every trying any Bombay Gin and I couldn't taste the Lemongrass, and/or peppercorns so it was a "meh" gin. Last night I picked up a 350 ml bottle of the Original London Dry and wow, I love it. It made one of the best martinis I've made in a long time. Next Week I'll go back and get a 750 ml bottle.

[@nononsensegindrinking5152]

Glad you agree Kevin ! 😊

[@whitealliance9540]

I agree Australia makes some good gin. But stop beating up on my bombay thats my fave!

[@SuperJamesfletcher]

Don't forget the bombay sapphire bramble with blackberry and raspberry really nice drink

[@mkoschara]

Did Bombay change their recipe? I'm in Costa Rica and it tastes very different than what I've had in the USA.

[@mkoschara]

It used to not be chemically.

[@krazykkarl]

They're pouring cheap liquor in the name brand bottles.

Nice video as usual Bobby. I haven't seen Bombay Sapphire English Estate anywhere in my area, but if I do I will try it. As for the other versions, I'll take a pass, as there are so many better gins out there!

[@nononsensegindrinking5152]

Absolutely gene bigs I think it may have finished production now but you never know. Keep a lookout for it in the future 👍

Do you plan on reviewing certain Dutch jenever (gin) brands like olifant or hartevelt jonge jenever ?

[@nononsensegindrinking5152]

Not yet but I will get there! 😊

[@emilianstefan4424]

I was drinking from this brand when I was younger, but I'm 34 now and this not a gin for anyone over 25 if you ask me. The gin market evolved massively in the last 20 years. There is really no excuse to drink Bombay gin. Unless you're already drunk and you don't care about what you're drinking.

CLASSIC THE BEST

[@inikous58]

I haven't tried a lot of Gins like you but i drink them neat. I saw your video of 2019 best Gins you recommend and i chose to try the Brokers one...I have to tell you that it wasn't pleasant for me..i mean i understand the quality of the drink, but its too damn alcoholic to drink neat and has not any damn flavors...So for the first time in my 27 years i tried it with tonic...A lot better i have to say but still average..The tonic gave it some flavor, but its like drinking tonic with alcohol...Not so great for me... So i wanted to recommend you, when you try a Gin with tonic and you believe they don t have character, or you don't like them, try to drink them neat.. For example, have you ever tried Bombay Sapphire neat? I believe you would appreciate it more.. The more alcoholic a Gin is, the better for Gin&Tonic or other Cocktail will be.. I would take Bombay the classic one over Brokers anytime..I mean to drink them neat.. I guess our paletes have developed differently cause the way we prefer to have our drinks.. My fav so far is Hendricks neat with a long thin slice of cucumber...Best drink of my life

[@nononsensegindrinking5152]

KaneLLo' Thanks very much for your comment. It’s always helpful to hear when people have a different opinion and view. I have tried to drink neat gin but in most cases, I really don’t enjoy it. I do have only a tiny bit of tonic now which, for me really releases the flavours of the gin. I know that master distillers and gin tasters often try it neat but with a spot of water because this also releases the flavours. I take your point though and I will revisit near Bombay in a future video. Thanks again KaneLLo 👍👍

[@KPho150]

Refresh the memory? Half of the bottle is gone, how much tasting did you do?

[@ProudOnion]

What more do you expect from a vapour infused gin? Obviously it is going to have less flavours compared to others. Bombay sapphire and Bombay east are both from England but star of Bombay is from srilanka There is a reason this gin is on every F ing bar on this planet
