Tarquin's Blackberry and Cornish Honey Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

The gin then starts to flow and Tarquin sells his first bottle to a local pub on 30th July 2013 – Tarquin’s Gin is now officially trading! Over the last 10 years, Tarquin is proud to have been recognised with some of the most prestigious awards in craft spirits including “World’s Best Gin”. However, despite this success Tarquin remains steadfast in his goal of making the world as passionate about drinking delicious tiny-batch gin as we are to make it. Tarquin believes in small-batch production, using a naked flame and bread dough to seal his pot stills - this is as traditional and analogue as distilling gets. Every stage of the process is judged by eye, touch and taste. This approach to distilling is incredibly labour intensive but it means that the authenticity and integrity of the final result is ensured. These are used by our partners to deliver commision-based marketing and relevant advertising to you. Tarquin’s Cornish Dry Gin is then used as a base for Tarquin’s flavoured gins like Tarquin’s Rhubarb & Raspberry Gin and Tarquin’s Strawberry & Lime Gin. How do you serve Tarquin’s gin?

This is Tarquin’s core ethos. What do you have in Tarquins gin?

Proud winner of World’s Best Gin at the San Francisco World Spirits Awards. Inspired by the beautiful, wild coast of north Cornwall and the Atlantic Ocean beyond, Tarquin’s The Seadog Navy Gin is brimming with bold Cornish personality Over the next few years, Tarquin continues to grow his family of craft gins with experimental recipes and adds four traditional copper pot stills to his windswept Cornish distillery just to keep up with the ever-expanding demand. Setting his sights on establishing the first Cornish distillery for over 100 years, Tarquin armed with a 0.7 ltr copper pot still began experimenting in his family kitchen. He’s never distilled anything before in his life and so his first task is to begin self-teaching. It’s all a process of trial and error. Add the sugar and gin, stir or shake well, seal tightly and then leave in a cool dry place to infuse for about a week or two, or longer for a stronger flavour.

Every few days, give the gin a little shake. When the gin tastes ready, strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve or muslin cloth into a fresh bottle.
