SALCOMBE DISTILLING NLL
A blend of bright orange citrus, aromatic cardamom and herbaceous rosemary and sage on the nose. An aromatic and warming balance of juniper, ginger and habanero capsicum on the palate with fragrant bitterness from sage and cascarilla bark. The finish is long and smooth with sweet orange and star anise, lengthened with floral coriander and lemongrass.
Co-founders Angus Lugsdin and Howard Davies began their partnership as sailing instructors in the scenic coastal town of Salcombe, South Devon, England. After having pursued their careers elsewhere, they rejoined forces and created Salcombe Distilling. The distillery is named after the Salcombe Fruiters, a fleet of Schooner sailing vessels built in the area in the 1820s-1880s. These ships were the fastest of their day, with copper sheathed hulls and an ability to sail close to the wind, hand built to carry cargos of highly perishable fresh fruits, spices and herbs from around the world to England’s ports.
