It’s perfect for an afternoon social or an evening get-together. Without a doubt, it is sure to be a real crowd-pleaser.

Tanqueray London Dry gin is the benchmark of the brand, and in the world of gin as well. It has a crisp and dry finish, which is the gold standard for a London dry gin, largely attributed to its botanical mix of juniper, coriander, angelica, and licorice.In 2009, in his groundbreaking essay on New Western Style Gin Defined, Ryan Magarian, Co-Creator of Aviation Gin, also gave a nod to Tanqueray Malacca: The taste of Tanqueray Malacca is robust and smooth. Citrus up front again, a tad bit of acidic tang. Lemon, and Grapefruit. The middle we get some baking spices, Cinnamon in the middle. The finish is perhaps the shining moment for this gin, you get a tad bit of juniper and a long creamy finish with notes of creme anglaise, specifically warm creamy vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove.

The most striking feature from this gin, however, is the refreshing taste brought by Rangpur limes. While they are called limes, the unique citrus fruit which is native to India is more similar to mandarin oranges. A cross between mandarin orange and citron, Rangpur limes are also juicier. This gin is definitely a must-try, especially if you have a love-hate relationship with juniper-heavy spirits.

Tasting Notes

Tanqueray London Dry Gin is the original product that was launched in 1830; its key botanicals are juniper, coriander, angelica root and liquorice. It is variously sold as: Excerpt: The (relatively) low proof and sweetness makes this gin soft and plush. Would be a great entry to the category for those who think they don't like gin. According to former Tanqueray master distiller Tom Nichol, Charles Tanqueray “was a genius.” More accurately, “I think he was a genius who told everyone he was a genius,” Nichol says. We don’t know if Tanqueray was both annoying and super smart, but we do know he dressed like Santa Claus on a Tinder date and carried around a notebook filled with ideas. Among the more prominent: recipes for animal medicines and a supposedly “improved” horseshoe polish, since there’s nothing worse than bad horseshoe polish. We’re glad he went with gin. The loss of Old Tom Gin is irreparable, although if you can get your hands on a bottle of the discontinued Tanqueray Malacca, you’ll come pretty close.

First, let us start at the beginning with Charles Tanqueray. He’s the gent who created the premium spirits that bear his name. After extensive trials, he discovered a perfectly balanced recipe that combined a rich, full flavour with a bold, invigorating taste. a b c Stevenson, Seth (11 July 2005). "Ready to Tanqueray?". Slate Magazine . Retrieved 25 September 2020. First distilled in the 1990s, Tanqueray Malacca surprised gin lovers because of its sweet and satisfying notes. It was short-lived, though, as the distillation and production of this spirit came to an end in 2001. But as it’s loved by many, the Malacca Gin returned briefly in 2013, and for a short period of time, reclaimed its spot on the top shelves of every bar.

Tanqueray Sterling Vodka was introduced in 1989 and is available in both neutral and citrus flavours. Its main market is the United States. Tanqueray and Tanqueray 10 are the two Tanqueray products you’re most likely to see or have seen, drink or have drunk (or are drinking right now, nice). They both ring in at a solid 47.3 percent ABV, but Tanqueray has that aforementioned juniper assertiveness, whereas Tanqueray 10 was produced as a kind of concession to and/or celebration of the emerging craft gin market — a market reaching out to more consumers, including those less in love with gin’s signature juniper note. The result is a mix of eight botanicals (not 10, because why not?) that is less juniper-forward and overlaid with not just earthy spice but brighter, fragrant citrus notes. We’re really impressed by the way this flavourful gin blends so perfectly with premium tonic water. If you enjoy a good gin and tonic, this combination will certainly exceed your expectations.

Medium mouth feel, no real heat. Lots of sweet cream, peaches, cucumber, white pepper. Very floral.Tanqueray Rangpur Gin was introduced in Maryland, Delaware, and Washington, D.C. in the summer of 2006. It has a strong citrus flavor, the result of rangpur limes, ginger, and bay leaves added during the final distillation process. It is produced at 82.6 proof (41.3% abv) and is now available throughout the United States and Canada. It is named after city of Rangpur from where the names of the citrus also came. Tanqueray is a brand of gin produced by Diageo plc. It originated in London. While it does not command a sizable market share in its native market, its largest market is the United States. Tanqueray London Dry Gin is one of the benchmark spirits for the London Dry category, and tasting it side by side with the Tanqueray Malacca, the strong differences in style become amazingly clear. Tanqueray London Dry is an unapologetic celebration of juniper – strong, assertive and astringent – while Tanquery Malacca is more an expression of botanical balance: soft, citrusy and evenly spiced. This gin is crafted with juniper, peppercorn, rose, cloves, licorice, and other notable botanicals. There’s only a tad bit of juniper to symphonize with the other botanicals, though. Malacca is also known to be a bit sweeter compared to other Tanqueray varieties.
