Adventure is the ultimate luxury, so let Salcombe Gin take you on a discovery of the best of the South of England…

Spirit of Salcombe Gin

‘Everybody knows that physical experiences are where the consumer pound is going’, wrote Alexandra Shulman in her essay for the 2018/19 edition of Great British Brands – and Salcombe Gin has done just that, having spent the summer bringing their award-winning gin on an adventure along England’s South West coast.

Having secured a reputation as one of the finest gins in the world, decorated with numerous high-profile awards, Salcombe Gin founders Howard Davies and Angus Lugsdin this summer took it one step further by launching a series of adventures which embrace the inimitable ‘Spirit of Salcombe’.

From gin butler deliveries and specially-crafted pairing menus to bespoke distilling classes and tasting experiences, Howard and Angus spent months perfecting a packed itinerary which hit the finest hotels and restaurants across the South Coast –  including the unique No Man’s Fort in Solent, HIX Oyster & Fish House in Lyme Regis and Rick Stein’s Sandbanks in Poole. Fresh fish, citrusy gin cocktails, salty sea air and sun – that’s the spirit of Salcombe.

Now, yachting visitors to Salcombe Harbour, as well as those taking part in the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta (30 August – 1 September) and Lendy Cowes Week, have the opportunity to exponentially better their sojourn with Salcombe Gin’s newly-launched Gin Butler Service. Little beats the luxury of calling upon a personal gin butler when you run out of tipples onboard, who will save the day by arriving via fully-stocked powerboat to help you host the ultimate pennant hour. Salcombe Gin’s Ribeye boat can also deliver specially-prepared hampers directly to your boat including everything you need for the perfect G&T aperitif.

Visitors to Salcombe can also visit the fascinating distillery and bar, nestled in a traditional boat building quarter of the Devon town. Real gin enthusiasts shouldn’t miss the opportunity to take a lesson at the Gin School, where they’ll learn how to create a unique gin recipe and distill it themselves.

But for those who find themselves yacht-less and depressingly far from the sun and sand of Salcombe, you can be there in spirit – with a big glass of Salcombe Gin and tonic in hand…
