Our Take on Bombay Sapphire
At DubaiBottles, we believe that great gin is a work of art. Bombay Sapphire is a masterpiece. This is the gin that redefined the premium gin category. In fact, it was launched in 1987, inspired by the classic London Dry style. It’s beloved by bartenders and connoisseurs around the world for its exceptional smoothness and complexity.
This exceptional gin is crafted using a unique vapour‑infusion process. The 10 hand‑selected botanicals are suspended above the spirit. They are gently infused with vapour rather than boiled. This captures the purest, most delicate flavours. The result is a gin that’s incredibly smooth, beautifully balanced, and unmistakably sophisticated. Whether you’re mixing the perfect G&T, shaking up a Martini, or crafting a classic Negroni, Bombay Sapphire delivers a taste that’s as refined as it is versatile.

Serving Tips from Our Cellar
Bombay Sapphire is best enjoyed well‑chilled. Store it in the fridge for a few hours before serving, or serve over plenty of ice. For the perfect G&T, fill a large glass with ice. Add 50 ml of Bombay Sapphire. Top with premium tonic water and garnish with a slice of fresh lime or cucumber. If you’re ordering delivery in Dubai, we recommend chilling it as soon as it arrives for the perfect serving temperature.
