Salcombe Gin Start Point is distilled using the rigorous London Dry Gin method in a single shot. This classic citrus gin is exceptionally smooth, distinct and complex. Named after the iconic "Start Point" lighthouse that marked the beginning of the 19th century voyages of the Salcombe fruit and spice schooners that inspire the signature flavor of this gin. Distilled and made in Salcombe, Devon, using only the finest Macedonian juniper trees, English coriander seeds, fresh Mediterranean citrus peel and eight other botanicals from around the world, blended with pure, naturally sweet Dartmoor water to create this perfectly balanced gin.
