Salcombe Gin ‘Start Point’ is a citrus led gin distilled to the exacting one-shot London Dry method. This internationally recognised, multi-award winning gin is exceptionally smooth, distinct, and complex yet extremely versatile. NOSE: ‘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. PALATE: Rich, full and incredibly smooth on the palate, with a touch of earthy sweetness from liquorice and angelica root. FINISH: The finish is fresh, lingering and balanced whilst lengthened by green cardamom.

Salcombe Gin 'Start Point' is crafted by Salcombe Distilling Co. at their waterside distillery and one of the world’s only distilleries accessible by boat. Drawing influence from the famous 19th century Salcombe Fruit Schooners and their precious cargo, ‘Start Point’ is inspired by the coastal vitality of Salcombe and its shipbuilding heritage. 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. 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 with pure, naturally soft Dartmoor water to create this perfectly balanced gin. 1% for the ocean: For every 70cl bottle sold, SDCo. donate 1% of the retail price to the Marine Conservation Societies seagrass regeneration project which protects and regenerates up to 2m² of seagrass.
