Bombay Sapphire

The Bombay Sapphire gin is based on a secret recipe that dates back to 1761. The 10 botanicals used to create Bombay Sapphire are far from secret – they are pictured on every bottle – but what is secret is the exact quantity of each botanical used to achieve the perfectly balanced taste which is the trademark of Bombay Sapphire. Rather than the current, the Bombay Sapphire gin recipe is based on one of the earliest recorded recipes for a premium quality London dry gin, originally created in the north-west of England in 17961, the secret recipe has been passed down from generation to generation ever since.

Macallan Sherry

The long journey from acorn to glass begins in the forests of Galicia, Cantabria and Asturias in northern Spain. In these ancient forests grow the mighty Spanish oaks that one day will provide the casks in which The Macallan Sherry Oak is matured. From this rich timber, the logs are quarter sawn to provide the ‘stave’ lengths and then air-dried, firstly in the north and then the south of Spain. The staves are then fashioned by hand into casks in the cooperages of Jerez, where traditional toasting changes the chemistry of the wood, adding another vital ingredient to maturation.

Taste overview

The Macalland Sherry Oak is exclusively matured for a minimum of 10 years in Spanish oak casks, handcrafted and sherry seasoned in Jerez, Spain. This delivers a classic Macallan style, wonderfully rich in colour with dried fruits, spice and chocolate orange.
