First Impressions
Tarquin's Rhubarb & Raspberry infuses fresh pressed rhubarb and juicy raspberries into the flagship Cornish gin post-distillation, then cuts with Cornish spring water to 38%. The crucial detail: no added sugar. The stunning blush colour comes entirely from real fruit, free from artificial colouring.
Tasting
The nose delivers lemon sherbet, fresh raspberries and soft juniper. On the palate, rhubarb sorbet with crisp pine and Eastern spice — stewed rhubarb dominates with natural dryness, no added sugar letting the fruit's sour character shine. The finish is tart raspberry jam with zesty citrus and frangipane.
The Bottom Line
Tarquin's Rhubarb & Raspberry earns a 7 for a fruit gin that tastes honestly of fruit. The lack of sugar means the rhubarb's natural sourness comes through, perfectly balanced by the raspberry's sweetness. Pairs brilliantly with ginger ale, fresh raspberries and mint.
