Salcombe Distilling Company creates exceptional, multi-award-winning sprits at its waterside distillery in the stunning coastal town of Salcombe, South Devon. Founded by Angus and Howard in 2014, who met teaching sailing. Their combined passion for fine spirits and a lifestyle on and around the water, transpired into a brand that is now recognised as one of the World’s no.1 luxury gin brands. Every drop of their collection is produced with passion, care and an uncompromising approach to quality.

Inspired by the coastal vitality of Salcombe and its ship building heritage, the protection of the ocean is of great importance to the company. It recently launched its ‘1% for the Ocean Campaign’ paving the way for healthier oceans, by donating 1% of the retail price to the Marine Conservation Society in the UK, and SeaTrees in the USA, for every 70cl bottle sold which helps protect and regenerate ocean habitats around the world.

Salcombe Gin ‘Start Point’ won all the most prestigious prizes in the international world of spirits in the first year of sales. Within six months, ‘Start Point’ had been awarded ‘Gold’ at the World Gin Awards. Four months later was awarded a ‘Double Gold’ at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, known as the Oscars in the spirits world. This was closely followed by 3 Stars at the Great Taste Awards, the highest accolade and one of the highest recorded score at the Beverage Tasting Institute in the US with a score of 96 out of 100. More recently ‘Rosé Sainte Marie’ was Wine Enthusiasts highest rated gin in 2021 and remains the only ‘pink’ gin in the world to have won two Double Gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirits and SIP competitions.
