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.

Love Tarquins gins , so smooth and drinkable , more expensive than standard gins but you can taste the quality of ingredients

10/10 every time! Give it a try!UK brand and independent business which is always great to support also.Very premium flavour and mouthfeel.

This is very nice - plenty of juniper and with some kind of citrus after-taste, probably lemon, hint of lime maybe.I am unsure about comments on low ratings as I get nothing of the tastes that they mention. Dud bottles?Recommended.

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

Read the title... really lovely gin at a great price

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!

Excellent tasting gin. Not a bad price. Very fast delivery.
