Salcombe Gin Rosé Sainte Marie
Modern Gin
Salcombe // England
The gin gets its name from the Sainte Marie lighthouse at the southern entrance to the Old Port of Marseille, where 19th century Salcombe Fruit Schooners loaded citrus fruits and herbs bound for England.
The pink hue of this gin is owed to the maceration of unsweetened red fruits added to the botanical mixture that were inspired by flavors of the Mediterranean coast.

Tasting Notes
"There is a juniper note, but it's moved more to the background, as the other balanced spicy and fruit notes come to the fore. Delicate aromas and flavors of orange blossom, fresh berries, warm spices and subtle sweetness makes this gin one of the few that would be easy to sip on the rocks with nothing added except maybe a splash of seltzer or club soda. This would also make an interesting summer Negroni variation with a lighter style of vermouth, or perhaps even subbing that for rosé wine. "
