Advantages: Refreshing and no bad aftertaste like other gins.

Disadvantages: Expensive.

Gin is probably the only spirit that people will claim not to be able to drink, most drinkers can take any spirit for a change but many will completely turn their noses up at a drop of gin.

I was very much one of those people till a friend introduced me to Bombay Saphire gin, unlike most other gins this one has a real flavour to it that comes from the Lemon and liquorice in it.

Where other gins are very dry and taste highly perfumed and leave a horrible dry after taste in your mouth Bombay Saphire is completely different and with tonic water and a slice of lime or lemonade and a slice of lime it is actually a very refreshing drink and there is no horrible dry mouth or perfumed aftertaste at all.

This is my first and only choice of gin and although I am very much still a vodka lady I do enjoy one of these every now and again, after all they do say variety is the spice of life. I often buy a bottle of this now these days and although at around £18 a litre it is much more expensive than other gins, it is well worth the extra.

If you are on the lookout now for a bottle of this fine gin then you can't miss it on the shelves, it comes in a square shouldered, transparent aquamarine bottle and looks as refreshing as it tastes!

Summary: Worth a try even though it is expensive.
