First Impressions
Tarquin's Strawberry & Lime begins with the flagship Cornish gin, distilled with extra fresh lime zest, then lovingly infused post-distillation with the sweetest strawberries in season. The result captures the essence of a Cornish summer afternoon at 38%.
Tasting
The nose delivers wild strawberry, fresh juniper and cracked black pepper. On the palate, zesty lime meets sweet orange blossom and warm spice, with the strawberry infusion adding summery sweetness without cloying. The finish carries tart strawberry jam, candied marmalade and soft pine.
The Bottom Line
Tarquin's Strawberry & Lime earns a 7 for a well-executed fruit gin where the lime distillation adds structure that pure strawberry infusion alone would lack. The black pepper on the nose is a lovely unexpected touch. Best with elderflower tonic and a lime slice.
