Salcombe Gin x Fortnum & Mason Moscatel Cask Aged Gin 2024 Release, the iconic retailer’s first single cask aged gin.
Working with world famous Fortnum & Mason, known for its extraordinary food and drink experiences, the new release started its journey in Portugal. The gin’s recipe and botanical profile were carefully developed to work in harmony with a hand-selected American oak cask that had previously held a five year-old Moscatel do Douro wine.
By teasing out its finest qualities and selecting botanicals that accentuate the aromas and flavours, the cask became an inspiring botanical partner.
The gin was then aged for over four years in the cask at Salcombe Gin's waterside distillery and still retains the freshness of the day it was first distilled, with added depth of flavour and layers of sweet apricots, almonds and a rich nuttiness reminiscent of Christmas fruit and nut cake, all imparted by the cask.
The special new release, which is exclusive to Fortnum & Mason, is available from all Fortnum & Mason stores and online at fortnumandmason.com or salcombegin.com from September 2024.
The single cask aged gin is £69.50 and available in a 50cl bottle, ABV: 46%.
