Tarquin's Handcrafted Cornish Dry Gin 70cl Bottle

Tarquin's Handcrafted Cornish Dry Gin is a premium spirit that represents a contemporary interpretation of the classic London dry gin style. It is produced in small batches at the Southwestern Distillery in Cornwall, where traditional methods meet careful botanical selection. The gin is distilled using a flame-fired copper pot still named Tamara, which contributes to its refined character and smooth finish. The gin's distinctive profile comes from a carefully curated basket of twelve botanicals sourced from across the globe. These include juniper berries, orris root from Morocco, green cardamom seeds from Guatemala, and cinnamon from Madagascar. A particularly notable ingredient is the locally foraged violets from Cornwall's southwestern coast, which add a unique regional character and subtle floral notes. The production process emphasises craftsmanship, with each bottle being filled, labelled, and sealed by hand. This gin is best suited for those who appreciate artisanal spirits with a story and distinct sense of place. Its balanced flavour profile—featuring crisp pine notes from juniper, fresh citrus, aromatic spice, and a bright floral finish—makes it versatile for various serves. It pairs exceptionally well with a Mediterranean-style tonic water, a slice of red grapefruit, and a sprig of thyme, creating a refreshing and sophisticated drink. It's an ideal choice for special occasions, as a gift, or for anyone seeking a quality gin with authentic Cornish provenance.
