Wei Zhang VIPsAllowed — Devon Coast Elegance
9/10

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.

8/10

The 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.

8/10

Start 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.
