Salcombe gains namesake gin and joins craft distillery revolution

A new premium gin brand has launched in Devon under the name Salcombe Gin. Made using Dartmoor water and English wheat spirit, the gin is distilled with a mix of red grapefruit, lemon and lime peels that are freshly peeled for each distillation.
Co-founders Howard Davies and Angus Lugsdin met teaching sailing in Salcombe and have continued a nautical theme on to the packaging of the Devon based gin.
Salcombe Gin has an RRP of £34.95. For stockist enquiries contact Salcombe Distilling Co – ilovegin@salcombegin.com or 01548 288180
