Salcombe Gin is produced in a 450 litre Arnold Holstein still charmingly named Provident, and made with thirteen botanicals including Macedonian juniper, fresh lemon, lime and red grapefruit peels, cardamom, liquorice, cinnamon bark, chamomile, coriander seeds and cubeb berries. The inspiration for the gin comes from the Salcombe 'fruiters' that brought exotic fruit into Devon from the Azores, West Indies and Mediterranean in the 19th century. Water sourced from Dartmoor is used to bring it down to 44%.
Fun fact: Salcombe is one of the few distilleries in the world accessible by boat!
Citrus and floral aromas and flavours work in harmony with the heady, earthy and resinous pine notes of Macedonian juniper, selected for their high limonene content, combined with the warming spiced citrus notes from English coriander seeds. Cubeb berries from Java provide fruity peppery heat balanced with warming spice from cinnamon bark.

Very pleasant citrusy gin with peppery notes and floral overtones. Would buy again.
Up with Plymouth Gin just wish theyd sell it in a super store
Tried this recently (a very welcome Christmas present) and it shot right to the top of my gin list. Certainly the best gin I've ever tasted and proud to say it's made in my home county of Devon (South Hams). Try it with a slice of red grapefruit. Pure nectar.
A really well balanced, premium gin with a delightful combination of citrus flavours. Luxurious and smooth tasting.
Superbly smooth
