Product Information

Twisting open the cap of the Lighter version you get a hit of the same slightly sweet scent with a vanilla-ish edge. Comparing it with the bottle of Original from my cupboard it's completely indistiguishable. Salcombe Distilling Co. has announced a portfolio of non-alcoholic spirits and aperitifs, New London Light, consisting of three new serves.

At first glance, the Original seemed a little darker and the Light version a little, well, lighter. But you could only really see the difference if you really got down to compare the meniscus levels (I'm not sure my GCSE science teacher would ever have expected me to use that concept in this context), as you can see in the photo above. Verdict: Negligible difference unless you've got a magnifying glass out - which feels like unnecessary faff all things considered. Smell

But both Baileys look as appetising as usual and, more imporantly, exactly how you'd expect the iconic drink to look over ice. Inspired by gin-making principles, First Light boasts flavours of dry juniper, citrus and ginger while the brand’s Midnight Sun serve offers notes of coastal berries, fresh pine and kelp.
