We’re driven by the goal of making really authentic, characterful spirits that tell a story of time and place,” he says, “whilst proudly flying the Cornish flag.” He says, “I’ve always had a passion for developing, combining and balancing flavours. But somehow, at the age of 23, I found myself behind a desk in the City of London, doing a recruitment job that I had absolutely no drive for.”

Tarquin’s Cornish dry Gin

When Tarquin was first approached by Jon and John to make a special Christmas surprise for Craft Gin Club members, he knew exactly what kind of spirit he was aiming to create. But the pain is worth it, especially when you can get close enough to one of the beautiful copper stills to feel the heat from the open flames burning at their bases. This disused cowshed is, in fact, Southwestern Distillery, where Tarquin’s Cornish Christmas Gin was distilled using ancient methods that, for many craft distillers, have long since fallen by the wayside. During the summer, when the sun is shining, there’s no better place to be than Cornwall,” says Tarquin Leadbetter, head distiller and founder of Southwestern Distillery. “But there’s also something very special about Cornwall during the depths of December – the coastline seems even more wild and rugged, and we wanted to capture a little piece of that in our Cornish Christmas Gin.”

Tarquin’s Cornish Gin is a nectar that transports your taste buds into a realm of unparalleled pleasure. Meticulously handcrafted using a secret blend of botanicals, this gin leaves an assortment of flavours on your palate.He says, “It’s so important to be open and realise that the learning curve is a process that requires patience and perseverance. Making gin isn’t difficult. The science and technique can be learned and replicated, but to make a great gin requires feel, intuition and conviction. That’s a little harder to teach.” Each bottle carries within it a story of centuries-old traditions, carefully-selected botanicals, and a relentless pursuit of perfection. The result is a gin that transcends the ordinary, captivating the senses with its complex flavours and inviting aromas. Nestled along the enchanting Wild Cornish Coast, Tarquin’s Cornish Gin distilleries proudly call the Cornish town of Wadebridge, England, their spirited home. Infusing a touch of passion into every bottle, Tarquin’s Cornish distilled gins are a burst of flavours.
