Salcombe New london Light Midnight Sun 0%

0.0% | 70.0cl

New London Light Midnight Sun has been fastidiously distilled and crafted with 7 core botanicals and a further 7 natural botanical distillates and extracts, all of which have been hand-selected to showcase the flavours of the wild Nordic coastlines and nod to the pillars of modern Nordic cuisine.

To make the base for New London Light Midnight Sun, the master distillers first perform a ‘botanical steep.’ Seven hand-sourced and carefully balanced botanicals, including elderberries, seaberries, kelp, and samphire, are steeped in a neutral grain spirit and water for 48 hours at around 40% ABV. The use of alcohol to extract and transport flavour is a critical step in the process.

The ‘botanical steep’ is then distilled in our rotary vacuum still, which eliminates the alcohol without compromising the flavour, utilising a combination of craft and ingenuity. This results in a highly concentrated core flavour distillate that serves as the foundation for New London Light Midnight Sun. This core flavour distillate is then meticulously combined with seven additional natural flavours, including lingonberries and pine, and stabilised with the uncommon usage of kombucha.

Tasting Note

Lavender, elderflower and fresh pine on the nose, with a hint of berry sweetness and grassy dill. Sweet yet complex berry flavours on the palate, with a touch of salinity from kelp and samphire. Elderflower and resinous pine add a complete spectrum of flavour. Long and lingering, with elderberry acidity, sage and pine dryness, and a delicate impression of the sea.
