Tarquins
Tarquin's Limited Edition Pressed Apple Gin 38% 70cl
Based just 20 minutes North-east of Newquay, the Southwestern Distillery was founded by Tarquin Leadbetter in 2012. Previously a classically trained chef, Tarquin left a desk job in London to pursue a dream of opening the first distillery in his homeland of Cornwall for over 100 years.
Recognising the growth of gin at the time, Tarquin is completely self-taught, selling his first bottle of gin in July 2013. His first still was originally heated with a large gas ring that was used for his paella pan - the operation now has 4 stills (named Tamara, Senara, Tressa and Ferrara) that are all heated with a direct flame. The tops of the stills are sealed with bread dough - which sounds weird but is a very traditional process.
New for 2023 is a Pressed Apple gin, featuring exactly what you'd expect - an overnight infusion of Tarquin's Cornish Dry gin with tart apples, to create an incredibly fruity yet warming spirit. A little touch of spice is used to bring out more flavour, and it's perfect for Autumn evenings as the nights draw in. Forget tonic, pair this with ginger ale, or add to a warm punch during liven up a festive party!
