Salcombe Gin Hampers: The Perfect Gift This Festive Season

There really is no better way to get into the festive spirit than with one of Salcombe Gin's new luxurious hampers. 

Whether you're looking for a gorgeous gift for a friend or loved one, or just want the ultimate present to treat yourself this Christmas, the hampers contain everything you will need to make the perfect 'Salcombe & Tonic'. Salcombe Distilling Co. expertly crafts exceptional gins at its waterside distillery in South Devon, which, incidentally, is one of the world's only distilleries directly accessible by boat.

Every drop of gin in its multi-award-winning range is distilled with unrivalled passion, care and attention to detail. 

Each fabulously festive Salcombe Gin Gift Hamper comes with a full-size bottle of Salcombe Gin, a branded pair of copper tongs, two engraved gin glasses, eight 150ml Fever-Tree Premium Indian Tonic Water cans and a Salcombe Gin jute bag. 

Everything is presented in a stylish genuine wicker hamper for the final flourish of luxury.

Gift hampers are available with a choice of three of their exceptional gins, Salcombe Gin 'Start Point', Salcombe Gin 'Rosé Sainte Marie' and Salcombe Gin Voyager Series 'Daring'. Salcombe Gin 'Start Point' is a multi-award winning, classic, citrus-led London Dry gin which is exceptionally smooth and complex.

An extremely versatile gin, it has a backbone of Macedonian juniper with a flavour profile inspired by Salcombe's rich maritime heritage. Salcombe Gin's flagship, it's distilled using the London Dry method and features a blend of 13 fine botanicals with citrus flavours encompassing grapefruit, lemon and lime peels alongside English coriander seed, juniper and orris root.

It is incredibly well-balanced and distinct with layers of intricacy running throughout. RRP £99 for a Salcombe Gin 'Start Point' Gift Hamper, which contains a 70cl bottle, 44% ABV. Salcombe Gin 'Rosé Sainte Marie' is inspired by the Mediterranean coast. Bright, fresh and elegant, the delicate flavours are reminiscent of Southern France and emulate the qualities of a dry rosé wine. 

Salcombe Gin 'Rosé Sainte Marie' is purposefully dry with no added sugar, artificial colours or flavours. It pays homage to the Sainte Marie lighthouse in the South of France, which marks where 19th century Salcombe Fruit Schooners loaded supplies of citrus fruits and herbs. 

Distilled with Macedonian juniper berries and combined with flavours of angelica and strawberries (giving it a subtle sweetness), an additional 12 hand-sourced botanicals including orange blossom, rose petals, fresh lemon, orange peel and pink peppercorns are then added to the distillation. RRP £99 for the Salcombe Gin 'Rosé Sainte Marie' Gift Hamper featuring a 70cl bottle, 41.4% ABV.

Salcombe Gin Voyager Series 'Daring' is developed in collaboration with Michelin-starred chef Paul Ainsworth and inspired by his dish, 'A Tale of Porthilly'. Distilled with whey and foraged Cornish botanicals, this exquisite gin showcases the spirit of the wild Cornish coast and mimics the rich, smooth mouthfeel and fresh umami and zinc-like properties of the Cornish oyster. 

Taking further inspiration from Paul's carefully balanced dish, the gin combines the use of fennel, apple and lime to replicate the accompanying salad and create a complex flavour profile and exciting taste. RRP £129 for the Salcombe Gin Voyager Series 'Daring' Gift Hamper, which contains a 50cl bottle, 46% ABV.
