View All (7)Salcombe Start Point captures the Devon coast in a bottle. Bright lemon and pink grapefruit citrus over clean juniper with a floral chamomile quality. The citrus-forward cascade at 44% ABV is stunning.
19 February 2026The lemon-lime-grapefruit cascade across the palate is beautiful. Each citrus note arrives in succession, the structural juniper provides backbone, and at 44% the gentle coriander-cubeb spice adds warmth. Clean and refreshing.
26 January 2026Start Point is one of the cleanest, most refreshing gins I've tried. The citrus is bright and genuine, the juniper is structural rather than overpowering, and at 44% the medium finish with balanced juniper-citrus fade is immaculate.
