‘New London Light’ (NLL) is a critically acclaimed, bold and refreshing non-alcoholic spirit setting a brave new standard in taste for Low and No Alcohol. The liquid has been created specifically by spirits experts for health-conscious drinkers who don’t want to miss out on the flavour of world class spirits.
Inspired by the quality benchmark set by the historic ‘London Dry’ gin, NLL has been developed by Master Distiller, Jason Nickels, at multi-award winning Salcombe Distilling Co. to deliver a best in class non-alcoholic spirit without compromising on flavour.
NLL is crafted by first distilling three botanicals; rich Macedonian juniper berries, ginger and habanero capsicum. Fifteen additional botanicals are blended into the base liquid delivering complex layers with hints of citrus orange and sage.
With its delicious full body, complex layers and thirst-quenching zest, NLL is already making waves in the low and no space as it looks to set a new standard in taste.
Chef Mark Hix, said: “I rarely go for a non-alcoholic option when having drinks with friends, but NLL has effortlessly raised the bar in this space with a great clarity of flavour that really shines and makes you feel that you aren’t missing out. After a few dirty NLL martinis we were hooked for the afternoon. It has made such an impression that we are adding it into our mocktail menu straight away.”
Commenting on ‘New London Light’s’ taste, Stephen Mutty, bartender at renowned London cocktail bar, Lyaness, said: “Salcombe Distilling Co.’s ‘New London Light’ is a really tasty liquid! With big flavours to back it up, it makes the most refreshing serves. What’s the real standout? Not only is the non-alcoholic spirit bangin’, they’re doing amazing stuff in regards to marine conservation, with sustainability at the forefront of their production.”
Joe Wadsack, drinks expert at ITV This Morning and Saturday Kitchen, said: “Beautifully refreshing, both full-bodied and gentle at the same time. A lovely sweet sour balance with the ‘refreshingly light’ tonic. The perfect designated driver’s grown up choice, with a whiff of Provence. Sip one of these in Cannes, and you can still drive to Nice in your Bentley drophead for dinner. Classy.”
This new spirit from Salcombe Distilling Co., located in a former boathouse close to the clear waters and wild coastline of South Devon, is inspired by Salcombe’s maritime history. 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.
Salcombe Distilling Co.’s team is on an exciting new voyage of discovery, in the pursuit of exceptional flavours without alcohol. NLL is the first in a series that draws inspiration from a rich history of exploration and combines it with the team’s expertise in developing exceptional taste to create a spirit that means you can enjoy life’s adventures with flavour and complete clarity.
“The tide is turning. The hunt for premium non-alcoholic spirits is gathering speed, especially amongst those who demand quality and clarity” says Co-Founder and water sports enthusiast, Howard Davies. “We are proud of the reputation we have built making award-winning gins and the opportunity to encourage people to make more of the great outdoors, given our passion for the sea. It is a natural evolution for us to lead a new wave of excellence in non-alcoholic spirits.”
