Lucky guests will be able to enjoy the aptly named \u2018Over The Horizon\u2019 cocktail when travelling in Upper Class.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This multi-award winning gin produced by the internationally acclaimed Salcombe Distilling Co. was listed in Duty Free onboard Virgin Atlantic earlier this year. It is also available in Virgin Atlantic Clubhouses in the UK and USA, which are known for their exclusivity and luxurious surroundings. Salcombe Gin \u2018Ros\u00e9 Sainte Marie\u2019 is seeing rapid growth in the USA with listings in Bevmo!, Total Wine and drizly.com, amongst others.<\/p>\n<p>Angus Lugsdin, co-founder of Salcombe Distilling Co. says: <em>\u201cTo be selected by Virgin Atlantic to form part of their pouring service in Upper Class reflects the outstanding quality of this gin. A huge amount of care was taken to create an elegant spirit which really stands out in the crowded \u2018pink gin\u2019 category, and we are delighted that this has been recognised in such a way.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Passengers on Virgin Atlantic can also pre-order Duty Free Salcombe Gin \u2018Ros\u00e9 Sainte Marie\u2019 together with Salcombe Gin \u2018Start Point\u2019 ahead of their flights.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by the Mediterranean coast, Salcombe Gin \u2018Ros\u00e9 Sainte Marie\u2019 is bright, fresh and elegant. The award-winning delicate, fresh flavours are reminiscent of Southern France and in turn, emulate qualities of dry ros\u00e9 wine. This gin sets the president in the flavoured gin market that is typically overcrowded by sugary alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>Salcombe Gin \u2018Ros\u00e9 Sainte Marie\u2019 is purposefully dry and has no added sugar, artificial colours or flavours. The gin pays homage to the Sainte Marie lighthouse in the South of France, which marks where nineteenth century Salcombe Fruit Schooners loaded supplies of citrus fruits and herbs.<\/p>\n<p><a
