That would be his Cornish Pastis.

Tarquin’s Gin has swiftly gained popularity, captivating gin enthusiasts worldwide. To fully immerse oneself in the legacy of the brand, a visit to their renowned distillery is an absolute-must. Unveiling The Ownership Enigma Life for Tarquin Leadbetter wasn’t always punctuated by sweeping views of the ocean and copper stills bubbling away. At 23, he had trained as a chef at Le Cordon Bleu, but the view from his grey office in the City of London was very gloomy, indeed. 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.” Here at Craft Gin Club, we’re all about the spirit of discovery. Like our members, we are all ears when exciting new launches arise and we love trying out drinks that push the spirit boundaries!

Our bins hold 18-24 bottles of wine or Champagne or 2-3 cases of lager when filled with ice and water. Drinks will be chilled in 30-45 minutes and will be kept cold for several hours, especially if kept in the shade.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.” The bottle you’re unwrapping this month is a true triumph of the festive season – hand-crafted, lovingly finished and just the treat you’ll be craving when it comes time to toast 2018 beside the twinkling Christmas tree. Here at Craft Gin Club HQ, we’ll be lingering long over our Tarquin’s Cornish Christmas G&Ts – but Tarquin himself already has 2019 in his sights.

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.” Special Delivery Requests?
