Blue Bottle Gins

Yeah - I know - not the best or wittiest headliner. Well - but here we are - talking about  those 3 gins, all of them coming in blue bottles: Bombay Sapphire, Star of Bombay and Citadelle. However this won’t be a review - or an objective side by side comparison... just my impressions. Bombay Sapphire: I have got to admit, since Bombay Sapphire has been introduced, I actually liked it pretty much - and I can honestly say, that it has been one of my favorite gins. Probably you could even say, that Bombay Sapphire was the first gin, I’ve genuinely appreciated (and in those days, not a lot of people drank gin - nor where there a lot of options out there). My appreciation took though a slight dip, when Bacardi took over the reigns and reduced “their” gin in most markets from 47% to 40% abv. In Dubai though, the 47% abv version is still used, which is fantastic. In this impression, I would say, that Bombay Sapphire is definitely in the top group of gins - it might be not as fan
