Cornish gin brand Tarquin has announced the launch of Tarquin's Black Cherry Gin, an "intensely fruity" and well-balanced gin created especially for Valentine's Day.
The newly launched expression was made in Tarquin's renowned distillery on the Wild Cornish Coast where it was infused with fresh-pressed black cherries and orange zest. As a result, the cherry-infused gin delivers a rich and tangy flavor profile. In addition, the new gin was made exclusively in small batches in flame-fired copper pots.
"Black cherries have a powerful, complex yet sweet flavor, so I was intrigued to see how this could be expressed in a spirit. The result is a very special, rich, and vibrant gin with a beautiful depth," said Tarquin Leadbetter, founder and Master Distiller at Southwestern Distillery.
