"Fresh citrus peels of lemon and orange which are hand peeled each day prior to distillation and combined with ten further hand sourced botanicals including lemon verbena, rose petals, orange blossom and pink peppercorns"
Salcombe gin is handcrafted using the traditional ‘one shot’ method, on ‘Provident’, a striking 450 litre copper pot still which stands proud for all to see at the distillery in Salcombe.
The finest of botanicals, hand sourced from around the world are used, many of which have been traced back to the global maritime trading routes and cargoes once carried by the Salcombe Fruiters. Each of the botanicals used has a story to tell, none are mass produced, all are traceable to their source and all are picked at their best. Salcombe are uncompromisingly fussy about their quality.
Of utmost importance and often overlooked in gin distillation is the quality of the water used for blending, at Salcombe they have access to Dartmoor water, amongst the softest and purest water in England, sourced from high up in the wilds of Dartmoor National Park.
