not really. if you take vodka and mix with with essential oils extracted from the same botanicals, just mix them together with a vodka, it wouldn't be the same at all. the production process infuses all the 10 botanicals and the base alcohol into a single, highly complex ethanol molecule.
Gin is infused grain spirit, vodka is grain spirit so yes gin is vodka. Gin has to have juniper berries to be classed as a gin the rest is just down to preference of the manufacturer. Vodka is turned to gin by either the maceration or vapour infused process

Dear Mr Fordham, where were original botanicals in 1761 from? how was the process of finding all the actual botanicals through out the world? how were they found to become the best?. thanks for a very insightful video, will sure be visting when possible!. Cheers
I imagine the locations expressed here were the original origins as well. The British have been importing from China and the rest of Asia at least since the 1600's, for instance, Chinese tea became popular in England in the 1720's.
I just bought a bottle of this, and the last time I drank this I was like 22, a friend came over at a party with this. Drinking and smoking some stuff, next thing I know he’s like Matt, you’re due for a shot, so I took a huge drink off of a bottle of this. Needless to say I don’t remember much of that night but it was my birthday. Usually I drink whiskey but I was just curious as to how this stuff is made. My dad drank gin, random fact. After watching though this, I can tell that this man, is very passionate and serious about Bombay. Idk man, should I keep drinking whiskey or switch to something like this
@@matarazzo209 I think that’s the most common way to drink it from some research I’ve done about it. I’ll have to try it sometime. Lime is always good especially in a corona. Last time I had a bottle of this, I was mixing it with cranberry juice in one of my whiskey glasses 😮💨

Your claim ....... "The only London Dry Gin to use 100% vapour infusion in its distillation" ...... Excuse me but I don't think so !!! That is absolutely not the case.
I like how everything is "delicately" and "gently" put into this. At the end all liquor tastes like shit. No matter how much ive spent on a bottle of alcohol it always tastes like...alcohol
@Amin oh yea, definitely. But it all tastes horrible either way, ive never had a bottle of liquor or beer that has tasted great. Bombay is definitely my favorite clear liquor by far, but it still tastes horrible
@@llcooljay3776 Sugar syrup in drinks like long islands stop it. Or even if you're in the southern hemisphere use LnP from New zealand with scotch. tastes good. Lest still tastes like fire, just not so much.

Bombay was made to be a brand. Marketed heavily from the start in 1986. Tanqueray or Gordon's might be global brands as well, but have some history at least. Charles Tanqueray was an innovator at the time, just like your everyday ginhipster wants to be. We're standing on his shoulders. Hendrick's is a bit different as well as it actually has some artisanal craft in it. Bombay is just plain rubbish marketed well by slick guys that present themselves well, just as this video.
@@Barthijzz At the end of the day, gin is just juniper berries and a bunch of other botanicals added to vodka. It's the combination of those botanicals that makes each gin unique. I happen to quite like the combination that Bombay Sapphire produces, and I like it better than Tanqueray or (ugh) Gordon's. Whatever its history or marketing, if it didn't taste fabulous, nobody would buy a second bottle. I have bought many, many bottles of Bombay, so they must be doing something right. But go on, you keep drinking your oily, nasty Gordons.
@@blairmulhollandOh there's more to that than just adding botanicals to vodka. It's not about the taste, but the respect for the brand. I don't like Gordon's, but I'd never want to be associated drinking Bombay. If I'd have to choose a massive brand I'd actually like the taste from, gimme Plymouth all day.
@@Barthijzz respect for the brand huh. That's pretty silly. Just drink what you enjoy. I really enjoy Bombay Sapphire. There's no point getting snobby about it.
The only thing Bombay have mastered is advertising. Their gin is total garbage in comparison to the countless craft gin distillers around now. I can only assume anyone that likes Bombay hasn't actually tried any other gins.
Ya I totally agree. Like I got suckered into bombay because of their bottle. Their gin is definitely not as good as tanq or other brands for sure. Its nicely bottled trash gin.
I've tried plenty, and Bombay is my favourite by far. Gin is not complicated, it's all in the mix of the botanicals. "Craft gin" is a con - there's nothing special about adding juniper berries to vodka. But if you want to pay $40 for something like that when you could just pay $20 for Bombay, which, in fact, tastes amazing, knock yourself out.
@@da9564 righteo champ, I remember drinking my first gin too. The funny thing about your comment is that the most common gin that bums on the street drink is Bombay because it's so cheap and available everywhere 🤣

within 25 seconds of this video i knew why i loved their gin so much. Im a Gin and Tonic lad myself.
I brought this in Cambridge , UK because of the lockdown. Did not want to keep going to the shop to get beer, I have to say with proper tonic water like schweppes/ fever tree , ice , slice of lemon = a divine drink, I love it .
I want to be an alcoholic British gentleman after watching.

“Yeah, Nik. Sorry mate, we’re on camera 2. Can you do all that again please bud? Cheers!”
Gin and soda really is a refreshing change
What a gorgeous facility!
What would life be without my two-two shot Bombay Gin and Tonics at bedtime?
My favorite drink just like it with chilled cold water !
Wonderful presentation 🎉
Gin is basically vodka with botanicals added, predominantly juniper berries.
not really. if you take vodka and mix with with essential oils extracted from the same botanicals, just mix them together with a vodka, it wouldn't be the same at all. the production process infuses all the 10 botanicals and the base alcohol into a single, highly complex ethanol molecule.
Vodka is basically Gin that isn’t finished.

i can remember back in the 70s drinking bombay. something very true was written on the bottle ...."gin is not a beverage it's a state of mind"

Or drink both

You mean you just add flavors to rectified spirit !
thats gin yeah
All top gins are done that way
Yep. That's all gin is, was and ever will be. The secret is in choosing the botanicals.
Yum yum. Best in long islands ;p
Bombay !, . How ?. What the spirit is made from ?

The best gin ever!
Except for the ingredients, the process is the same as making Brandy right?
Brandy is a distilled wine. Whisky is a distilled beer. Gin is a neutral grain spirit distilled with botanicals for flavouring, so more like a vodka.
yes.
@@pokeroundIt is better than Vodka.
The only gin Idrink
Why does gin have to be dry, Can somebdy make wet gin? I dont think i like the dry part
Dry means without sugar
The UK Makes war Vs my Village in GALIPOLI.
Never again, lets Drink Together.
This gin Is very nice
I found since 2019 I can drink this like water...Sadly. I had to quit drinking so much...but, my favorite drink though. Take it in moderation
You quitter..

Tangueray is WAY WAY Better and $2 more.
Here in UK Tangueray is cheaper by around $7.00. Both are British and I agree Tangueray is nice but I like this too.
Tanqueray is the BEST gin ever.
Tanqueray is a good gin, but I like the complexity of Bombay better.
You could just remove everything except for the juniper and you'll have the same flavor.
No, you wouldn't. You'd have gin, but it would taste different.

Bombay Sapphire is certainly not craft. They're a global brand now. At what point are you no longer craft and just plain commercial

Or you could just throw your botanicals in a sock and soak them in vodka.

bullshit, just f...marketing
