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 worked on Tamara, a second-hand copper still who made the journey from Portugal to Cornwall. In a former life, she had been used to distil fruit brandy. Tarquin popped his new pot still directly onto a naked flame – in this case, a paella ring burner – and sealed her joints with bread dough. It’s an ancient way of working at the still, and connected Tarquin deeply to the prospect of producing the first Cornish gin in 200 years. As outside the wind whips up the sea and the grey sky stretches across the Atlantic, snuggle up with friends and family before the fire, and enjoy the taste of a cosy Christmas in Cornwall with your Craft Gin Club exclusive Tarquin’s Cornish Christmas Gin.
