In the Spotlight｜Tarquin's Cornish Dry Gin｜ Other Products

Tarquin's Cornish Dry Gin is the bottle that put Cornwall on the gin map. Tarquin Leadbetter, a Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef stuck in a London office at 23, moved back to the West Country in 2012 to open Southwestern Distillery, the first new distillery in Cornwall in over a hundred years, and spent a year testing recipes on a tiny copper pot before settling on twelve botanicals and firing up a second-hand Portuguese alembic still named Tamara. Five years later it was named World's Best Gin at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and it has since taken Gold at the IWSC.The recipe uses fresh orange, lemon and grapefruit rather than dried peel, a light hand with coriander, cinnamon instead of cassia, and Devon violets from Tarquin's own garden for a green freshness behind the juniper. Everything is distilled in small batches over a naked flame and bottled at 42% ABV (84 proof) with a hand-sealed wax cap. The Gin Is In found a crisp, juniper-forward nose, a palate of bright lemon zest, neroli and cardamom, and called it supremely balanced with a beautiful mouthfeel. A benchmark contemporary gin for a Martini, a G&T or an Aviation.Buy Tarquin's Cornish Dry Gin online with fast shipping right to your door.
