OUR JOURNEY
In 2015 we took a backpacking trip around Southeast Asia. It was an incredible journey that opened our eyes to new cultures, sights, sounds and smells. The thing that really stuck with us was the food. It was vibrant, fresh and had the most incredible balance of sweet, sour, spicy and umami flavours.
On our return to England we had an idea. Let’s create a gin that celebrates Southeast Asian cuisine; a balance of flavour that sets the tastebuds alight.
We spent the next three years on a journey of discovery and adventure. We developed our idea, honed our craft, and experimented with a multitude of Southeast Asian flavours.
We refused to rush and never compromised, only starting production when we had perfected a gin that we were truly proud of, one that honoured the incredible culture, cuisine, and people we had experienced on our trip.
We did it all ourselves. A true craft gin is crafted by the passion, love and belief of its founders. It’s never outsourced.
CONSERVATION
We named our gin after the Philippine Tarsier, one of the world’s smallest primates that is native to the Philippines. Characterised by its small stature and big eyes, it perfectly embodied our vision. A small batch gin with big flavour and personality.
Tarsiers have been around for 45 million years but are now endangered due to habitat loss and human disturbance, most notably from the illegal pet trade.
Our mission is to raise awareness of these amazing creatures and their plight, and to raise vital funds to help protect them; we donate 10% of our profits to conservation projects in Southeast Asia. Our first partner is the Philippine Tarsier Foundation.
