Bombay Sapphire Premier Cru MURCIAN LEMON Gin 70 cl / 47 % UK

The Premium Cru Murcian Lemon Gin is a tribute to the unique lemons from the Spanish Murcia, which not only ripen juicy under the Mediterranean sun, but also their peel is dried in the sun. The lemon flavors come especially through the steam infusionvrfahren, after the sun drying already brings out the best flavors.

When mom and dad were still wearing bad hair styles and carrot pants, Laverstoke Mill decided to jump on the gin hype - in the 80s Bombay Sapphire was born. The image of Queen Victoria and the angular bottle in steel blue color are meant to remind us of the star of Bombay - the famous blue sapphire from which this gin got its name. Also, this makes sense from another point: but this gin alludes to the popularity of the spirit in India that was under the rule of England. This gin is produced according to an original recipe dating back to 1761, using ten different herbs and spices in a gentle steam-infusion process in so-called carterheads. The special feature of the Premier Cru Murcian Lemon, in contrast to the traditional Bombay Sapphire London Dry Gin, is the use of lemons from the southeast of Spain. Bombay Sapphire works with selected small farms that sustainably farm lemons. For the Premier Cru, the lemons are exclusively harvested late by hand, peeled and the peels dried in the Mediterranean sun. This is the best way to preserve their flavor for the steam infusion process. Here, therefore, is not macerated, but steamed. And that's not all: even the Carterheads have a name. A copper basket is hung in Tom, Mary, Henry and Victoria, which contains the botanicals. Thus, all the aromatic substances should pass into the alcohol.
