New Beverage: Salcombe Gin Partners With Royal Ocean Racing Club

Salcombe Gin has joined forces with the prestigious Royal Ocean Racing Club, to introduce a new offering – the Salcombe Gin ‘Start Point – Offshore Strength.’

This special edition gin (which is distilled from the highly-acclaimed ‘Start Point’ gin) has been crafted to an ‘offshore strength’ – providing the ultimate sun-downer for sailors to savor, after a day on the water.

With a wealth of accolades, and a commitment to excellence, Salcombe Gin (the renowned distillery that’s best-known for its exceptional gins and coastal inspiration) has been making waves in the industry since its launch in 2016. The distillery, which situated on Island Street in Salcombe, is a unique waterfront location that’s accessible by boat, which reflects the brand’s deep connection to the sea.

The brand’s co-founders, Howard Davies and Angus Lugsdin – have extensive backgrounds in business and food producing, and a passion for gin. Their dedication to crafting top-quality spirits – has garnered up numerous international and regional awards.

“With a plethora of awards, international listings, and a superior price position, we believe that Salcombe Gin is on course to becoming the world’s number one luxury gin brand,” said Angus.

The introduction of Salcombe Gin ‘Start Point – Offshore Strength’ – is a testament to the brand’s commitment to cater for sailors and adventurers alike. Inspired by the coastal vitality of Salcombe and its shipbuilding heritage, this special edition gin – is set to become the go-to choice for sailors who are seeking a revitalizing drink.

Howard Davies shared the story behind the creation of this exclusive offering: “the idea behind Salcombe Gin began with a sun-downer G&T after a day’s sailing, so to create this ‘Offshore Strength’ version of our award-winning ‘Start Point’ gin for sailors – to enjoy after competing in some of the most famous offshore races in the world – is something that we’re seriously excited about,” he said.

Sailors can now indulge in Salcombe Gin ‘Start Point – Offshore Strength’ at the Royal Ocean Racing Club’s Cowes, and in London Clubhouses. The collaboration allows sailors to celebrate their achievements, and to share their adventures over a glass of exceptional gin.
