Salcombe Gin - Finisterre

Gin description

Deriving its name from the Spanish ‘finis terre’ meaning end of the earth, to which we will travel to source the finest ingredients and materials to produce our exceptional gins, this limited edition cask aged release is the result of a collaboration with Bodegas Tradición; one of the most respected sherry houses in Spain, renowned for producing genre-defining aged wines using traditional and time honoured methods. ’Finisterre’ was aged at our distillery for 11 months in a hand picked Bodegas Tradición 624 litre American oak Fino sherry cask and reawakens a bygone era of adventure and trade, having traced a famous 19th century trading route of the Salcombe Fruit Schooners from Cadiz to England which carried fresh citrus and sherry from Jerez. ‘Finisterre’ has tempered citrus notes, wonderful candied citrus aromas including orange blossom and moreish saline hints from the aged Fino. The result is a sophisticated and elegant gin with great character and depth of flavour whilst the aged Fino adds a further layer of complexity and gentle spice. Limited to 825 bottles, 70cl, 46% ABV and is also available as a gift set with the ultra-traditional 12 year old Fino sherry which was drawn from the same cask at Bodegas Tradición 75cl 15% ABV.
