Ten botanicals are used in Bombay Sapphire: almond, lemon peel, liquorice, juniper berries, orris root, angelica, coriander, cassia, cubeb, and grains of paradise. This gives the gin a more floral aroma and taste than some other gins, while the "vapor infusion" distillation process used by Bombay Sapphire gives it a somewhat lighter, crisper character than other gins. 47%abv

Founded in the 18th century, Boodles is said to have been the favorite gin of Winston Churchill. It uses nine botanicals including, unusually, nutmeg, rosemary and sage. It has a distinctive floral nose and lingering juniper flavor with a clean finish. 45.2%abv

The nose is delicately spicy with lots of juniper. Green, piney-juniper, fir branch, with a bit of citrus tinged herbal notes beneath it. Absolutely and powerfully classic with a stunning aromatic profile.

Sipped, Hepple Gin begins with white pine needle, melon, lemon zest and lovage. Mid-palate this is a very classic and clean tasting gin. Hints of fennel seed and celery lead into a finish where subtle licorice backs a crisp juniper-forward finish. A hint of lemon comes through on the end as well.

Medium length finish that is elegant and classic. Hepple Gin is one of the best classic gins I've tried this year. - The Gin is In

The Nose - floral, summer meadow notes, followed by mellow rounded juniper and zesty, citrus freshness. The Palate - dry juniper leads, then reveals lemon tart & orange marmalade, before all the flavours harmonise. The Finish - dryness leads, with spicy juniper & a hint of lemon tart emerging.

Though the formula is a secret, the botanicals in the perennially popular Tanqueray are thought to be just four: juniper, coriander seed, angelica root and liqourice. The lack of a citrus botanical makes it slightly drier that some other gins. According to company lore, it was Frank Sinatra’s favorite gin.
