First Impressions
Tarquin's Passion Fruit & Peach is a limited edition that infuses juicy peaches and zingy passion fruit into the flagship Cornish gin post-distillation. Like all Tarquin's fruit gins, real fruit is used rather than flavourings, and the small-batch copper pot still process maintains craft quality.
Tasting
The nose delivers fresh juniper with zingy passion fruit and sweet peach. On the palate, vibrant passion flower, peach melba and tropical fruit — smooth and fruity with citrus hints and the Cornish gin base providing structure. The finish offers exotic citrus with sophisticated smoothness and lingering passion fruit warmth.
The Bottom Line
Tarquin's Passion Fruit & Peach earns a 7 for a tropical gin that transports you from the Cornish coast to somewhere warmer. The passion fruit's zingy acidity cuts through the peach sweetness, and the juniper backbone keeps it recognisably gin. Best with Sicilian lemonade and half a fresh passion fruit.
