There is a world of difference between the two. The difference between
Bombay Sapphire and any other gins, including Bombay, is the number of
botanicals added. Botanicals are what give each gin its distinct flavor. The
more botanicals used, the more complex the gin will be. If you hold an open
bottle of Tanqueray to your nose, then hold an open bottle of Sapphire to your
nose, you'll notice that Tanqueray has a clean scent to it, and Sapphire has a
very flowery nose. That's because Most gins use four or five botanicals
whereas Sapphire uses somewhere around ten. These can include anything from
aniseed, coriander, the traditional juniper berries and other extracts.
Hope I've helped.
