Tarquins
Tarquin's Black Cherry 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.
A limited edition batch run created especially for Valentine's Day, Tarquin has taken his standard Cornish Dry gin and macerated pressed black cherries along with orange zest to produce a wonderfully fruity spirit, with the sweet citrus notes working brilliantly with the dark, almost spicy cherry notes. Add some lemon juice and an egg white and you've got an absolutely stunning Black Forest Sour, but with tonic or even lemonade this is still a belter!
