Tarquin’s Gin, named after
Master Distiller and Founder of the
Southwestern Distillery, was first produced in
2013, and captures the spirit of the
Cornish coast where it is made. Tarquin’s Gin is the first to be made in Cornwall for over
100 years, and is a contemporary take on a classic style.
Hand crafted in
small batches, everything is done the old fashioned way, with botanicals selected by sight and feel, the still heated by fire and judged by eye, and all bottles individually filled, corked, sealed labeled and waxed
by hand.
Tarquin’s Gin features
botanicals from all over the world (juniper, coriander, fresh citrus peels, angelica, orris, cardamom, almond, cinnamon and liquorice), as well as
locally picked Devon violets. The Gin is distilled and cut with fresh
Cornish water, which adds a natural sweetness to the drink.
