I bet you won’t find that phrase in its entirety on Google. Google is a useful tool to have a better sense of who has thought what in the world, as sort of a confirmation of originality. Yes, though, I think Bombay Sapphire smells like Bacon Bits.
Bacon bits are not often fondly thought of, but they were a major minor player in my meals growing up. 
As an avid buy-luncher, I owned the elementary school salad bar and threw anything and everything on my Styrofoam tray (much like I do now at Souplantation). About this time too, Costco set up shop in my hometown with their impossibly large portions of everything, including that endless bottle of artificial bacon once probably sampled then picked up. My mom likes serving up veggies and healthy junk, but a little crunch and salt were never a bad thing. Maybe through bacon bits, I learned not to use the spoon pour side of a bottle’s lid, no matter how gentle you think you are.
Fast forward some ten years and I have not thought about, nor eaten bacon bits probably since my velcro shoe days. My diet consists mainly of Lean Cuisine, Healthy Choice, and Smart Ones meals, restaurants in the city, and sandwiches. As much as I hope my mother doesn’t know, what I don’t spend on food, I probably spend on wine, beer, and spirits. I am by no means AT ALL an expert, but I can tell the difference between bad and good (or, likey and no likey). When friends say they don’t drink beer or they hate Gin or they don’t like red wine, I am usually quite confused. The disparity between countries/brands/years is huge (obvs., Grey Goose v. Prestige), and I believe there’s always somebody out there who can make something tasty.
Unlike the aforementioned friends, I like Gin. I am a faithful patron of
Seagram’s, for quality, taste, and price. While shopping at Ralph’s with my friend Greg, though, he began to rave about Bombay Sapphire (to emphasize his point, it was sold out). I know B. Sapph for being extraordinarily attractive in color, packaging, and description. The bottle explaining its contents boasts ten flavors: almond, lemon peel, liquorice, juniper berries, orris root, angelica, coriander, cassia, cubeb, and grains of paradise. It sits fairly high on the gin hierarchy.
So, you can imagine my shock at actually trying the Bomb. In its purest form (shot glass), I could not believe my olfactory reaction. Google “Bombay Sapphire Smells Like Pine Tree” and you’ll get exactly what you’re looking for. I smelled the pine tree, yes. But at closer range, with deep inhalation through the nostrils, my mind shot back to being a 70 pound runt eating rectangular pizza, mini corndogs, and sloppy joes. How could this sophisticated liquor smell like a memory from suburban public school? I can only say that my mind is full mostly of my own experiences, and bacon bits are a ton closer to me than coriander or cubeb.
