This idea of community is at the heart of Cornwall’s most established gin brand, Tarquin’s. Founder Tarquin Leadbetter, a classically trained chef, was just 23 when he began distilling with his mother and sister in 2012. At the time their company, Southwestern Distillery, was the first commercial distillery to have opened in the county for more than a century. Award-winning, quadruple-distilled gins and vodka full of flavoursome natural botanicals. Made on The Lizard. Due in part to this dichotomy, Cornish folk and business work fiercely to both promote and defend their own. For a place that isn’t even a country, Cornwall harbours an incredible amount of national pride. And this sentiment is also ringing true for one of the county’s newest sectors: distilling. Caorunn gin captivated me from the first time I heard about. Exotic botanicals are nothing new in modern gin. With Big names like Bombay getting into exotic ingredients designed to invoke a certain region, it shouldn’t be surprising that a gin coming out of Scotland would attempt to do something that invokes a certain vision of the pastoral and idyllic Scottish countryside. In the gin I have tried to capture the Cornish spring in a bottle. Not only by using fresh and local ingredients but also by using those flavours that remind me of my childhood. That excitement of Spring, when the mornings are crisp and fresh and the winter is fading. New flavours are coming into season, new smells fill the garden.Caspyn Gin (both the Cornish Dry and the Midsummer) comes in the familiar “Oslo” bottle with a prescriptive paper label on the front, this dictating the batch number, date of distillation, ABV and a little detail about distillation. On the side of the label there’s a basking shark – a creature which seems to serve as something of an emblem for Cornish gins, as the snappy creatures show up on both of Tarquin’s bottle as well. A tour of the distillery near Wadebridge starts in the visitor room – where colourful gin bottles line the walls and the distillery’s original copper pot still, Tamara, now resides – then moves to the distillery. Here, three 150-litre alembic stills, heated by naked flame, work alongside a new 3,000-litre column still. Today, the distillery can churn out up to 100,000 bottles a month, but the bottling, labelling and wax sealing is still done by hand. Gins from the Tarquin’s range, at home on the Cornish coast The South West was once a profitable mining region, producing tin, copper and arsenic for trade around Britain, but this industry all but dried up in the 20th Range of bottled and canned craft beers in British and continental styles, expertly brewed in North Cornwall. Smooth, fresh gin, handcrafted on the north coast of Cornwall; made with organically-grown ingredients.

Fortunately, from around the mid-18 th Century legislation and a refinement in distillation processes calmed things down and the style of gin referred to as ‘ Old Tom’ gin was developed, which often containing sugar meant it was softer and sweeter. ‘London dry’ style gin came about in the 19th Century with a further change in distillation techniques. Flavoured gin is an exciting evolution of the original gin formula, with an array of options as plentiful as your own imagination. Fruity flavours like raspberry, lemon, citrus and mango are perhaps the most popular, but more creative concoctions with notes of vanilla, chocolate, peppercorn or ginger are also available. Born from a love of flavour and passion for life, High Point are pushing their know-how in fermentation and distilling to bring you delicious non-alcoholic drinks. The stone circle is called The 19 Merry Maidens. It's gorgeous. If you're ever in the area head on down there.
