Product Information

Unlike other gins, Tanqueray is not made with citrus; this leads it to be a much drier gin than other popular brands. The four types of botanicals used are combined to be very smooth when it hits your palate. The juniper flavor is not as overpowering and is much more subtle, with the coriander adding a sharp note at the end. Tanqueray Malacca Gin was introduced in 1997 as a "wetter" alternative to the London Dry, with more sweetness and a stronger fruit palate (most notably grapefruit). Discontinued in 2001, Diageo announced on 12 December 2012 (12/12/12) [8] [ unreliable source?] that a 16,000-case limited edition of Tanqueray Malacca would be relaunched in the US, Great Britain, Canada and Western Europe for February 2013.

In accordance with a report by The Spirits Business, Tanqueray was the highest selling gin in the world for 2016, with nearly three million nine-litre cases sold. [5] Products [ edit ] Tanqueray London Dry, Rangpur, and No. Ten Tanqueray is a London dry gin, reflecting its distillation process and origin in Bloomsbury, London. London dry gin is made by double distilling grain, with select botanicals added during the second distillation. While the Tanqueray recipe is a closely guarded trade secret, it is known to contain four botanicals: juniper, coriander, angelica root and liquorice, all common botanicals in gin productions overall. But what makes Tanqueray so special? It all starts with the botanicals. Tanqueray is made with a unique blend of four botanicals: juniper, coriander, angelica root, and liquorice.Despite being on the market for over fifteen years, Tanqueray Rangpur Lime Gin endures because the popularity of citrus-forward gins has remained high. Overall, while it loses marks for balance, it’s a solid mixing gin for fans of citrus-forward gin. Tanqueray Rangpur Distilled Gin is a zesty gin, distilled four times to ensure quality. Rangpur limes are added to create flavours of juicy lime and mandarin oranges, with a hint of ginger. Overall, there are moments that feel slightly traditional and call-to-mind Tanqueray; however, it is very citrus forward. One thing that is interesting though is how this gin’s position in the market has aged. The Rangpur is an exotic citrus that has the zestiness of lime and the juiciness of mandarin oranges. Rangpur, ginger and bay leaves are added to Tanqueray's base of four botanicals during distillation, resulting in an easy-drinking gin with a citrus twist

Tanqueray Rangpur Lime Gin launched in 2006. At the time, it was a bit of a bold and unusual move. Signature botanicals gin were rare. Gins that higlighted unusual botanicals in their name were even rarer. A Rangpur Lime isn’t really a lime. It’s known as a Canton lemon in some parts of the world— but it’s not a lemon either. It’s a hybrid of a mandarin orange and a citron. ( Citrus × limonia). Its flesh is orange, the fruit highly acidic and the flavor is perhaps closer to a citron than any of the above. It’s used in place of a lime in some culinary applications because its high acidity; however, to summarize it’s best simply stated: a Rangpur Lime is truly its own thing. While the gin is distilled multiple times, it is done so using the “one-shot” method, a rare process outside of boutique distilleries. One-Shot distilling requires more stills than other processes. The gin starts as a neutral spirit, then botanicals are steeped. Before bottling, the distiller adds water to cut the spirit, making it the proper proof.Tanqueray Rangpur Distilled Gin is an exotic explosion of citrus flavours with a fresh twist of herbs that will go perfectly with a wedge of lemon and mint. Just like the label states, this gin is distilled four times. There are two different types of water used in the process, adding a more significant profile to the flavors. One water is extracted from a deep well on the distillery grounds, the other is demineralized water. The two blended together mirror the London water originally used in distilling. What was once a once-off in 2006, Tanqueray Rangpur is now readily available across the United States, even in 2020.
