The distinctive blue glint of a Bombay Sapphire bottle can be spotted in most home drinks cabinets. It's a spirit so prolific that it's gained mononym status (it's just 'Bombay' — like Elvis or Adele). But the ubiquitous brand is zagging and going small scale with the release of a Bombay Sapphire Premier Cru — a hand-crafted, small-batch gin inspired by the Spanish region of Murcia.
To celebrate its release in Australia, Bombay Sapphire is hosting a one-night-only affair at South Wharf's Cargo Hall: The Bombay Sapphire Premier Cru Experience.
It'll include an innovative cocktail program featuring the Murcian-inspired gin paired with a four-course dining experience curated by chef Alejandro Saravia, the brilliant culinary mind behind Farmer's Daughters and Pastuso. Digital artworks by Yandell Walton and and soundscapes designed by Music director Will Pyett will make sure your other senses are kept just as pleased as your palate.
Consider yourself a gin devotee? You'll want to secure your tickets swiftly. The event is hosting just two sessions on Thursday, April 28 (one from 5–7pm and the other from 8–10pm). For more information and to book, visit the website.
