Salcombe Distilling Co. has significantly broadened its travel retail footprint, securing new listings with World Duty Free at key airports in the U.K.

According to TR Business, the brand’s flagship gins, Start Point and Rosé Sainte Marie, are now gracing the shelves of major hubs. These include Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5 at London Heathrow; North and South Terminals at London Gatwick; London Stansted Airport; Terminals 1, 2 and 3 at Manchester Airport; and Bristol Airport.

“We are very proud and excited to offer our exceptional gins to travellers through our collaboration with World Duty Free.,” Co-Founder and Director of Salcombe Distilling Co. Angus Lugsdin shared in the report. “This expansion marks a new chapter in our journey, allowing us to share the unique taste of Salcombe Gin with a wider audience.”

This expansion follows a series of successful collaborations over the past year with entities such as Harding+, P&O Cruises, Carnival UK (P&O Cruises & Cunard) and Virgin Atlantic, per the report.

To commemorate the introduction of Salcombe Gin at these high-traffic airport locations, the distillery has initiated a comprehensive sampling campaign throughout December. This campaign is designed to acquaint travelers with the distinct flavors of Salcombe Gin, contributing to the brand’s sustained growth within the travel retail sector.

More Slacombe expressions are slated for release at additional airports in January 2024, TR Business reported.
