Gin Tarquin's Blood Orange Gin

Tarquin's Blood Orange Gin: This delicious fruit-flavored gin is infused with blood orange, summer fruits and aromatic gentian root, for a distinctive and familiar herbal bitterness.

Production: To make this gin, the distillation process of Tarquin's Cornish Dry Gin as a base is carried out first.

To do this, 11 of the botanicals are added to the stills (except for the violets, strawberries and lime) and left to macerate overnight in a neutral wheat-based grain spirit.

Before lighting the stills in the morning, the remaining botanicals are added to complete the recipe.

As the stills heat up, Tarquin constantly monitors the process, sniffing and tasting the distilled spirit that comes out of the still at different temperatures.

Only the purest heart of the distillation is taken (achieved when the still has reached a temperature of 78°C), and the 'heads' and 'tails' cuts (the first and last part of the distillation) that do not have the most selective degree of texture and flavor are left aside.

After distillation, this "hearts cut" (around 76% pure gin by volume) is cut with demineralized Cornish spring water to reduce it to the desired 38% by volume.

Each bottle is filled and labeled by hand, dipped in a slow cooker filled with paraffin wax, stamped with the Puffin logo, given batch tasting notes, and also individually hand-signed.
