Key characteristics
About this gin
Bombay Sapphire's Premier Cru Murcian Lemon is a dry gin from the UK, built on the same ten-botanical base as the core Sapphire style but sharpened with Murcian lemon for a more citrus-driven profile. At 47% ABV it carries more weight and intensity than the standard bottling.
Expect bright lemon oil up front, backed by juniper and the classic botanical spice, finishing clean and dry rather than sweet. Serve well chilled, on its own over ice or in a simple gin and tonic where the lemon character can lead.
