The Southwestern Distillery was founded in
2011 on the Cornish coast, but it wasn’t until mid-2013 that the first batch of Gin was sold. Today, the company produces a number of Gins under their
Tarquin's brand, as well as Pastis, all lovingly made on one site in
Cornwall.
Founder and Distiller Tarquin Leadbetter oversees every single batch made in the distillery. Every batch is tasted, and every bottle signed by the man himself. The
family-run business is traditional in its approach, and everything is hand bottled, hand labeled and hand sealed.
With just
300 bottles per batch, you can be sure that quality and attention to detail goes into every bottle. The distillery’s location on the Cornish coast means that
locally sourced Cornish water powers the distillery and goes into every one of its products.
