Salcombe New London Light Aegean Sky: A Trip to the Mediterranean in Every Sip

Transport yourself to the sun-drenched shores of the Mediterranean with Salcombe New London Light Aegean Sky, a captivating non-alcoholic spirit bursting with vibrant citrus and savoury olive notes. This innovative creation from Salcombe Distilling Co. is a must-have for those seeking a complex and refreshing alcohol-free beverage experience.

On the Nose:

The first impression is a delightful explosion of bright citrus aromas. Imagine yourself walking through a grove of sun-ripened Sicilian blood oranges and fragrant bergamot trees. The zesty citrus character is further complemented by subtle floral hints, reminiscent of rosehip, adding a touch of elegance. As you delve deeper, a hint of earthiness emerges, courtesy of the intriguing inclusion of olive, creating a truly unique and evocative aroma profile.

On the Palate:

The initial burst of citrus carries over to the palate, delivering a refreshingly tart and juicy character. Layers of bitter orange and bergamot dance across the tongue, perfectly balanced by the earthy, savoury notes of olive. These contrasting elements create a delightful complexity that keeps things interesting with every sip. Underlying the citrus and olive is a subtle herbaceousness, likely thanks to the inclusion of rosemary, adding a touch of freshness and depth. The finish is clean and refreshing, with lingering citrus and a touch of olive lingering on the tongue.

Serving Suggestions:

To fully experience the Aegean Sky's vibrant flavours, enjoy it neat over ice. Simply fill a rocks glass with ice, pour the Aegean Sky, and garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary and a black olive for a touch of Mediterranean flair.

Perfect Pairings:

The Aegean Sky's versatility allows it to shine in various contexts. Here are some ideal food pairings to elevate your experience:

• Appetisers: Pair the Aegean Sky with light and flavourful starters like grilled artichokes with a lemon-caper dressing, marinated olives, or a selection of cured meats and cheeses.
• Salads: The refreshing citrus notes make the Aegean Sky a perfect complement to fresh salads. Try pairing it with a Greek salad, a citrus-dressed avocado salad, or a caprese salad.
• Seafood: The Aegean Sky's savoury profile beautifully complements seafood dishes. Pair it with grilled fish, shrimp scampi, or even a seafood paella.
• Vegetarian Dishes: The Aegean Sky's versatility extends to vegetarian cuisine. Consider pairing it with a roasted vegetable platter, a lentil shepherd's pie, or a creamy mushroom risotto.

The Perfect Mixer:

For those seeking a delightfully bubbly experience, the Aegean Sky pairs exceptionally well with a light tonic. Our recommendation is the Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water. This tonic water features notes of rosemary, thyme, and mandarin, which beautifully complement the Aegean Sky's inherent flavours, creating a truly harmonious beverage.
