Distilled in Manchester using traditional copper alembic stills and infused with bold regional botanicals, it delivers striking freshness, aromatic spice and savoury depth. At 40% ABV, this small-batch gin balances bright calamansi and mandarin with warming Kampot pepper, creating a distinctive expression that feels both adventurous and elegantly composed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes \u0026amp; Experience\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFresh piney juniper leads the nose, lifted by vibrant citrus oils and sweet herbaceous notes. Hints of lemongrass, basil and bold pepper evoke a lush tropical garden after rain. On the palate, zesty calamansi and mandarin open brightly before layers of Thai sweet basil and galangal introduce savoury complexity. The finish is long and smooth, defined by a refined prickle of Kampot pepper and a clean, dry herbal echo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tarsier Spirit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e London Dry Gin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manchester, England (Southeast Asian botanical inspiration)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanicals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kampot Pepper, Thai Sweet Basil, Galangal, Calamansi, plus traditional gin botanicals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOther:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gluten free, small-batch, hand-finished\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium Indian tonic, ice, lime slice and fresh ginger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCraftsmanship \u0026amp; Story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded by Sherwin Acebuche and Tim Driver after travels across Southeast Asia, Tarsier was born from a desire to celebrate the region’s bold flavours. Distilled in Manchester using the London Dry method, botanicals are macerated for 18 hours before single-shot distillation in copper alembic stills. Delicate notes are preserved through modern vacuum techniques, and every bottle is filled and labelled by hand. Named after the endangered Philippine tarsier, the brand donates 10% of profits to conservation efforts, uniting flavour with purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecial Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTarsier Southeast Asian Dry Gin stands apart through its vivid regional botanicals and ethical ethos.
