Curio Rock Samphire Gin

Curio was founded in 2012 by husband and wife, William and Rubina Tyler-Street.  Investing in two small stills and with the help of two master distillers they have developed a craft gin, which is produced in Mullion, Cornwall.
​
Curio is inspired by the rugged nature and surroundings of Cornwall, and their ingredients that reflect that Cornish heritage. Choosing to work with local supplier wherever possible the team use pure natural spring water from the Cornish Spring Water Company for their distillations.

​Likewise the standout botanical of their gin is rock samphire, which is hand foraged on the local cliff tops. The rock samphire gin is blended with the other botanicals such as star anise, seaweed,  nutmeg, cinnamon and coriander, distilled in small batches and bottled at 41% ABV.

​Curio is a nice small batch gin that makes a very refreshing gin and tonic. It is on the more expensive end of the price spectrum, but it’s worth a taste and adding their colourful bottle to your gin shelf will brighten up and home bar.
