Salcombe Gin - Voyager Series 'Island Queen'

Gin description

This limited-edition gin is the fourth of the Salcombe Gin Voyager Series, a collection of limited-edition gins, each developed in collaboration with a world renowned chef or iconic winemaker, to reflect their individual personality and style. Named ‘Island Queen’ after a Salcombe Fruiter and inspired by the historic trade of tropical fruits and spices once carried by this vessel, this limited-edition gin has been developed in collaboration with Monica Galetti, one of Britain's most celebrated chefs. Limited to 2,500 bottles, ‘Island Queen’ is presented in a stunning white ceramic bottle featuring an embossed outline of the iconic gin pennant and a bespoke debossed copper stopper commissioned for the series. Its presentation box has beautiful copper detailing and contains a recipe card for the ‘Mai Queen’ cocktail created by Monica Galetti and her team at Mere. ‘Island Queen’ is a rich, balanced and totally tropical gin with freshly cut pineapple, mango, coconut and star anise on the nose, followed by waves of green citrus and a hint of manuka wood smoke and spice to finish. The tropical fruits are ever present but beautifully balanced with the more traditional gin botanicals.
