Salcombe New London Light - 70cl | 0% ABV
Salcombe New London Light (NLL) is a critically acclaimed, bold and refreshing non alcoholic spirit with an outstanding spectrum of flavour. With its delicious full body, complex layers and thirst-quenching zest, NLL ihas recently won the 2021 People's Choice Spirits Awards for the 'Mindful Drinking' category. Inspired by Salcombe's gin making principles, NLL unites their expertise in developing exceptional taste, with a vision to enjoy life’s adventures with flavour and complete clarity. Named after an iconic lighthouse marking the entrance to the best deep-water harbour in Long Island Sound, ‘New London Light’ was once a beacon for the crews of 19th century Salcombe Fruit Schooners trading cargoes of exotic fruits and spices with the new world of the Americas. NLL is crafted by first distilling a combination of three botanicals: rich Macedonian juniper berries, zesty ginger and warm habanero capsicum, to create a full-bodied base spirit. The base liquid is carefully blended with 15 further hand-picked botanicals including orange, sage, cardamom, cascarilla bark and lemongrass; creating a complex and layered spectrum of flavour with thirst quenching hints of citrus orange and sage. To taste NLL offers a blend of bright orange citrus, aromatic cardamom and herbaceous rosemary and sage on the nose. On the palate an aromatic and warming balance of juniper, ginger and habanero capsicum with fragrant bitterness from sage and cascarilla bark lead onto a finish that is long and smooth with sweet orange and star anise, lengthened with floral coriander and lemongrass.
