The first pastis to ever be created in the UK and a delicious aperitif! Tarquin’s Cornish Pastis is quite classic in style, except here Southwestern Distillery have given it their own spin, using foraged botanicals from Cornwall.
Sweet fennel seed and earthy liquorice are clear to taste, alongside a perfumed orange blossom. There's a creamy texture to the Pastis and an extremely long drying finish with a lingering herbal complexity.
"This wonderful pastis is not talked about nearly enough, winning Double gold in San Francisco in 2016 it caused quite a stir amongst its French counterparts. Try it in a delicious summer punch with apple juice and fresh mint."
Twelve botanicals are added to the stills and left to macerate overnight in a wheat based spirit. The next day, gorse flowers are added and distilling begins. Post distillation, extra liquorice root and fresh orange peel are steeped into it.
Southwestern Distillery launched in 2013, with eponymous distiller Tarquin Leadbetter distilling, bottling, wax dipping and delivering his gins all over Cornwall. The team has grown, but the surfer meets mad scientist vibe still reigns.
Made on a farm in Wadebridge, Cornwall, Southwestern Distillery is a producer that places its home county on a pedestal, with hand-foraged Cornish botanicals and curious coastal ingredients incorporated into everything in their range.

Meet Tarquin's Spiced Watermelon Gin, a spice, smoke and fruit combo that's inspired by a love of the beach and summers spent in Cornwall!
"Think of a Jerk Watermelon - big on spice and charred in a BBQ smoker. That's this gin's core idea. Expect a charred juniper and spice profile to lead, not a fruit punch. Watermelon comes through much more with tonic and dilution."
