I recently grabbed a bottle of Bombay Sapphire to try, as I'm trying to figure out which of the "budget" Gins I'd like to keep on my shelf (Tanqueray, Beefeater, etc). I've read rave reviews of it, but it honestly left me...underwhelmed. It wasn't bad it was just kind of...uninspired? Tried it in a Gin and Tonic, and found the tonic way more overbearing than I have with other gins. Also tried it in an Aviation and Corpse Reviver #2, two of my go-to gin drinks, and again, something was off. Did I get a bad bottle? Are there cocktails this gin shines in? I'm genuinely looking for advic, not trying to put BS down. It's the first gin I've tried where I had a solid "meh" in everything I've tried it in. submitted by /u/TheNuclearSaxophone [link] [comments]
