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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wkd-1) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinner-bros-flavored-whiskeys).
