Have you ever seen anyone drink Bombay Sapphire? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

I often see Bombay sapphire for sale at supermarkets. I once saw an unopened bottle someone had in their house but I've never in my life seen anyone drink it.

Has anyone else?

I like gin based cocktails. I'm no connoisseur.

Bombay is definitely gin, but it almost tries too hard to amp up the gin flavor of juniper to a degree that kind of ruins it.

Ironically, I prefer Beefeater.

Weird, its juniper flavor always seemed mild and subdued to me compared to Gordon's or Tanqueray (the two other big brands here).
