 Tarquin's Cornish Gin is a perfect example of how passion, creativity, and strategic spending can transform limited resources into a successful food and drink brand.Driven by obsession and love for the craft, Tarquin Leadbetter refused to outsource, instead mastering the distillation process himself. His approach combined resourcefulness—like affordable local branding and budget-friendly equipment from Portugal—with a commitment to quality and authenticity.

Key Takeaways:

  • Leveraged a tight budget creatively to establish the brand.
  • Focused on hands-on craftsmanship rather than outsourcing.
  • Prioritized spending on impactful areas, like branding and stock.
