Inspired by the coastal vitality of Salcombe and its shipbuilding heritage, award-winning Salcombe Gin ‘Start Point' is distilled in the iconic coastal town of Salcombe in the Southwest of England at one of the world's only distilleries directly accessible by boat. Drawing influence from the famous 19th century Salcombe Fruit Schooners and their precious cargo, Salcombe Gin use only the finest citrus fruits and spices, to create their multi-award winning collection of gins, each led by flavour and inspired by history. Named after the iconic ‘Start Point' lighthouse that marked the beginning of the 19th century voyages of the Salcombe Fruit Schooners who once carried the exotic goods, fruits and spices that inspire this gin's signature flavour. Tasting Notes: Salcombe Gin ‘Start Point' is a critically acclaimed citrus-led London Dry gin distilled to the exacting one-shot London Dry method. This international multi-award winning gin is exceptionally smooth, distinct and complex yet extremely versatile. Distilled using only the finest Macedonian Juniper, English coriander seeds, fresh Mediterranean citrus peels and eight further hand-sourced botanicals from around the world, blended together with pure, naturally soft Dartmoor water to create this perfectly balanced gin. ‘Start Point' has distinct notes of red grapefruit along with heady, earthy pine notes from the Macedonian juniper. It is perfectly balanced with warming spiced aromas on the nose. Rich, full and incredibly smooth on the palate, with a touch of earthy sweetness from liquorice and angelica root. The finish is fresh, lingering and balanced whilst lengthened by green cardamom. Best served: On its own over ice or with a premium tonic water garnished with a slice of red grapefruit to complement the rich and warm citrus notes.
