Nose
Resinous piney juniper delightfully loud — dissipating to reveal orange and lemon peel, coriander, spice-laden creaminess and a faint floral whisper of lilac
Palate
Rich, full and incredibly smooth — distinct red grapefruit with heady earthy pine from Macedonian juniper, warming spice, earthy sweetness from liquorice and angelica
Finish
Fresh, lingering and balanced — lengthened by green cardamom with clean citrus persistence
Expert Review
8/10Salcombe's flagship London Dry — Macedonian juniper and hand-peeled fresh citrus inspired by Devon's historic fruit schooners, blended with Dartmoor water. Rich, smooth, grapefruit-forward.
