Tarquin’s Cornish Dry Gin | Award-Winning | Fresh Juniper, Bright Citrus & Floral Notes | Crafted on the Wild Cornish Coast | Enjoy in a G&T with Grapefruit & Thyme | 42% vol | 70cl

Tarquin's Cornish Dry Gin had been on my list to try for the best part of a year, so when I got the message to say it was featured in Amazon's new "Treasure Truck" I was delighted. As a disclaimer, I must admit when it comes to gin I am a bit of a traditionalist, I drink it only with tonic, no negronis or martinis for me. Upon opening the box you're greeted to a very classy looking bottle. The top has been wax sealed and little details like the Tarquin's logo being embossed into the wax on the cap and the waves imprinted into the bottom of the bottle (representing the Cornish coast where this is distilled) makes you feel like you have a real premium spirit on your hands. I was a little surpsied and disappointed when I noticed the label, I thought I had received a dodgy bottle as it was stuck on wonky. This briefly dampened my mood but then I looked at the small leaflet attached to the bottle and realised this is actually what it is meant to look like. Head on, the label looks quite nicely slanted, but I must admit when looking at where the two ends of the label meet it does look a bit shoddy and out of place for such wonderful branding. This is, however, the only small downside. Moving onto the gin itself. Look, I know most people aren't looking for a deep explanation into the subtleties of this gin so what I will say is this. If you want a really good tasting gin that looks amazing, something to bring out on special occasions or when you have people over, look no further. This is a great gin, an all-rounder, and personally I don't think you can go wrong. As I mentioned I love a crisp, dry, refreshing gin and this didn't disappoint. Botanicals used are Juniper, Coriander seeds, Orris root, Cadamon, Almost, Cinnamon, Liquorice Root, Orange peel, Lemon peel, Grapefruit peel, Violet. This isn't the boldest juniper based gin you will try, the juniper is there but is somewhat hidden by the citrus that shines through, but it is very well balanced. At 42% it's not going to blow your head off but at the same time you'll know you've had a gin! Price and availability mean this goes in my cabinet for when I want a nice gin. If I'm going to have 2 or 3 I'll have something I can easily replace from the supermarket, I don't want to plough through this, it's one of my favourites.

Good price and my sister gave it the thumbs up

top taste, and great flavor...not to flowery, very strong so use plenty of mixer, highly recommended, will purchase agian

Mighty fine! I prefer Blackwoods, but this is still delicious😋

Great quality gin. Gin is my go-to drink. This is lighter with a soft fruit note especially when you compare this to something like Tanqueray which has a definite juniper alcoholic kick. I've tried a few UK based gins (great to see we're good at something) and when travelling I like to sample to local brands. I do recommend this with the Feverfew Med tonic - tonic does plays a big part in enhancing the flavour. If you enjoy gin I'd highly recommended giving this one a try especially if you light a lighter, fresher tasting gin that is a true botanical, good environmental pedigree, home grown, award winning gin!

Fabulous aroma, fresh & crisp. Tastes divine! Elegant bottle. Great price from Amazon too.

This was bought for a gift and went well, I tried a single myself and it's a lovely gin, heavy on the juniper botanicals, which I love, it's smooth, I don't drink alcohol anymore, but this didn't give me any alcohol burn at all, it just made the back of my neck a bit warm 😆. A great gin and recommended, especially if you find it on offer.

Just joining all the other reviews on here to say how fantastic this gin is! I have tried… most gins and this is my favourite, it’s an absolute bargain when on offer. It’s fantastic quality, strong, with citrus and juniper. Really fresh, balanced and smooth. I absolutely recommend!

Excellent, ce serait encore mieux en livraison Prime, en payant moins cher...

Ein sehr leckerer Gin den wir im Urlaub kennenlernen durften. Amazon hatte ihn auf Lager, wir danach in der Hausbar. Wirklich mal was anderes und sehr lecker.

Bon gin mais faut apprécier un peu l’acidité qui arrive à la fin on sent un léger mélange citron fruit rouge qui est assez déstabilisant car peut présent dans les gin donc ce gin se démarque point positif

Sehr lecker und etwas ganz besonderes. Wir haben den Gin in einem Pub in Cornwall probiert und waren sofort begeistert. Leider ist er auch in Cornwall nicht so einfach zu bekommen. Im Brauereishop in St. Ives gab es ihn, da hatten wir bloß noch nicht zugegriffen. Leider haben wir ihn dann hinterher nirgendwo sonst gefunden, so dass wir glücklich waren, ihn hier online bestellen zu können.

Ich selbst trinke keinen Alkohol, deswegen kann ich nichts zum Geschmack sagen, es nur vielleicht ht irgendwann durch Hören-Sagen ergänzen. Aber die Flasche ist ein absoluter Hibguxker. Nicht so leuchtend rot und glänzend wie es das Bild im Artikel vermuten lässt. Aber vom Etikett bis zur Versiegelung wirkt alles sehr hochwertig produziert. Das Etikett ist zum Teil handbesxhriftet mit den Spezifikationen der Abfüllung, was dem ganzen eine besondere Note gibt und Hoffnung macht, dass da jemand sein Produkt sorgfältig und mit Herz produziert. Auf jeden Fall ein tolles Geschenk und wenn es schmeckt wie es aussieht, bestimmt auch ein absoluter Genuss.
