8/10Salcombe Start Point is a polished London Dry that earns its premium price through sheer competence rather than gimmickry, with Macedonian juniper and a citrus triple-play of grapefruit, lemon, and lime peels delivering a bright, commercially versatile gin at 44% ABV.

— Pretty but slightly safe
Salcombe Start Point is undeniably well-made with its macedonian juniper, English coriander, and citrus peels, but at 44% it plays it a little safe. The grapefruit, lemon, and lime peels give it a pleasant citrus lift, though I wanted more boldness from a gin at this price.
