Last October I was at home with my sick toddler when this photo landed in my whatsapp. Marc Ramage and Nick Spencer had flown to Berlin, set up our stand at Bar Convent, and were sending me updates from the first show I missed in years! Tradeshows are hit or miss. More miss than hit, if we're being honest. But as Maurice Doyle always says “nothing good ever happens from behind a desk.” Turns out, the BCB I missed was our best in over a decade. Today, we shipped 30,000 bottles to a partner we met at that show. Their 5th order. I'm not sure whether my absence was the secret ingredient, but I'm looking forward to finding out this coming October in Berlin 🍸

The innovation engine 🚂 is firing on all cylinders, new Tarquin’s Apple & Elderflower Gin limited edition. But what on earth is this innnovation engine? We test, trial and learn from our series of limited edition releases. First, we use category data to launch a customer vote for new gins. Our crack team of distillers create the recipes. Second we trial these creations in our 7 shops for live feedback. Third, we share with our 120k email database and online for even more feedback and data Finally, the winners we double down on and scale with our trade partners for wider distribution. As a result, we provide tried and tested bestsellers to our trade customers, allowing them to add incremental growth to their gin shelf. The holy grail in this market! This innovation is what makes us unique. As we’re integrated in every channel in the spirits ecosystem. From small batch makers, with brick-and-mortar, online and B2B sales. This is also the reason why our margarita inspired Tarquin’s Zest & Salt Gin is in like-for-like solid growth across all channels in its second year. Something you’d never expect! But this is the proof our innovation is working! Lastly, a bit more about today’s release… It is inspired by the seasonal beauty of Cornish orchards and hedgerows, this garden-fresh limited edition is a already a real crowd-pleaser! Our flagship Tarquin's Cornish Gin is first distilled in small batches before being lovingly infused with crisp Cornish apples and delicate elderflower blossom, creating a fresh and floral gin that remains unmistakably juniper-led. Pairs perfectly with: Tonic water & apple juice in a classic Collins. Or add some magic to the booming Hugo Spritz this summer 🍹 🛒 https://lnkd.in/e5McNRMT Yeghes Da!
