Tarquin's Handcrafted Cornish Dry Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

To make a gin that evoked the warm nostalgia of a Christmas spent in Cornwall, Tarquin and his team started with the botanical blend of their original Cornish Dry Gin. Then, taking inspiration from the ingredients they love cooking with as the festive season approaches, they built a spirit rich with the flavours of this magical time of the year. In fact, this tonic perfectly complements the botanical flavours of the gin, enhancing its vibrant character. It is where zesty lemon, blood orange, fragrant thyme, and a touch of bitterness intertwine, delighting your taste buds in a celebration of gin mastery. Unleash Your Taste Buds: The World’s Finest Tarquin’s Gins Tarquin says, “It’s the second spirit we ever brought out, and a true reflection of how we approach our craft. We made a spirit that nobody was really demanding or understood in the UK, but we made it because it was something that really excited us and was innovative.” Tarquin’s Cornish dry Gin is distilled in four large copper Stills at the Southwestern Distillery headquarters using traditional techniques. The Tarquin’s Gin range remains a family run business, and the Tarquin’s Cornish gin has since branched out to widen his brand into a successful international business, with numerous gins to suit all palates, strengths and tastes. So, unleash your inner gin aficionado and let Tarquin’s Gin paint your palate with pure, unadulterated pleasure. Tarquin’s Gin Bottles: Where Craft Meets Artistry

Handcrafted like the best Christmas decorations, beautifully wrapped in frosted glass and hand-dipped in wax of gold, the real gift here is the liquid inside. He says, “This botanical gives the gin a rounded sweetness, but also brings some lovely vanilla, dark chocolate and roast coffee notes, which all complement each other to create a very balanced, but also playful spirit.” Our bins hold 18-24 bottles of wine or Champagne or 2-3 cases of lager when filled with ice and water. Drinks will be chilled in 30-45 minutes and will be kept cold for several hours, especially if kept in the shade. He says, “I’ve always had a passion for developing, combining and balancing flavours. But somehow, at the age of 23, I found myself behind a desk in the City of London, doing a recruitment job that I had absolutely no drive for.”Tarquin’s Gin bottles are a blend of artistry and craftsmanship. Each bottle is meticulously handcrafted, exuding timeless elegance. Another remarkable achievement was Tarquin’s The Seadog Navy Gin. It not only secured the title of Best Gin but also attained the esteemed Double Gold recognition at the San Francisco World Spirit Competition in 2017.

Tarquin worked on Tamara, a second-hand copper still who made the journey from Portugal to Cornwall. In a former life, she had been used to distil fruit brandy. Tarquin popped his new pot still directly onto a naked flame – in this case, a paella ring burner – and sealed her joints with bread dough. It’s an ancient way of working at the still, and connected Tarquin deeply to the prospect of producing the first Cornish gin in 200 years. And if you seek a taste sensation, visiting Tarquin’s event, held each September annually in the Great Hall at The Alverton, is a must. What Makes The Tarquin’s Gin So Unique?
