Tarquin’s unveils limited edition for Gatwick Airport

Cornwall-based Tarquin’s Gin has created a limited edition Wonderful World Gin exclusively for London Gatwick Airport.

Released in partnership with Avolta, a leading global travel retail experience provider, the exclusive edition celebrates Avolta's 'Wonderful World' 2024 Summer campaign. The campaign has transformed the World Duty Free stores in London Gatwick Airport into an 'oasis of unique, tropical experiences' for the summer. Tarquin's Wonderful World Gin is a 'tropical, bright and curious dry gin designed for adventurers and explorers', created by Tarquin Leadbetter, founder and master distiller at Tarquin’s Gin. For the release, Leadbetter sourced botanicals from London Gatwick’s top tropical destinations, such as pineapple from Costa Rica, pomelo from Thailand and Italian lemon zest. The botanicals were distilled in flame-fired copper pot stills at Tarquin’s distillery on the Cornish coast. “I am incredibly proud to announce the launch of our new limited edition gin, distilled with tropical botanicals sourced from the far corners of our ‘Wonderful World’,” said Leadbetter. “This unique gin celebrates London Gatwick and its exotic destinations, promising to transport drinkers to a tropical paradise with every sip." “Our new Wonderful World limited edition marks another significant milestone for Southwestern Distillery in our partnership with Avolta and its World Duty Free stores, following our successful launch of Tarquin’s Gin in travel retail last year, and the introduction of our sister brands Twin Fin Rum and Connie Glaze Vodka this year. We are really proud to be working this closely with Avolta and World Duty Free." Tarquin’s Wonderful World Gin will be exclusively available at World Duty Free stores in London Gatwick’s North and South Terminals until October 2024. The launch will be supported by in-store media and samplings across the airport. Speaking on behalf of Avolta, Aisha Dad, category manager for liquor in the UK, said: “We are constantly seeking new and exclusive products for our customers to discover and enjoy, and we also like to offer our customers local products, produced by independent companies – and Tarquin’s is a perfect example of this. "The unique expression has been created by Leadbetter exclusively for London Gatwick and World Duty Free, and perfectly captures the spirit of summer – and of those far-flung destinations that travellers can fly to from London Gatwick. It’s already been incredibly popular with the many customers visiting our stores, and will continue to be so over the rest of the summer.” Earlier this year, Tarquin's released a gin designed for Negronis in partnership with London’s Holborn Dining Room, and expanded its vodka range with Connie Glaze Lemon Sherbet vodka liqueur.
