Product Information

Enjoy Tanqueray Rangpur Distilled Gin with ice, tonic water and two slices of lime to bring about the refreshing taste While you could mix up a Martini or Negroni with it, I feel like it isn’t Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla’s best showing. It is a bold mixing gin that is designed to be center stage with not much fussiness to it. Overall, Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla Finish: Only slightly dry with sour citrus remaining dominant, although above a spice-led accord that feels distinctively Tanqueray like. Nose: Lime dominates the fore— and although the rangpur is not a lime, the nose is decidedly lime-like. Juniper and a hint of traditional Tanqueray licorice and spice lie beneath. Quite nice. These botanicals are carefully selected and distilled to create a gin that is both complex and balanced.

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 Rangpur is best enjoyed in a copa glass with premium tonic water, plenty of ice and a generous wedge of lime. Bartenders would be advised to treat Tanqueray Rangpur Lime Gin as a specialty citrus-forward gin. Mixed, its citrus profile complements fresh citrus quite well. Try it in a Gimlet, Tom Collins or an Evans style Gin and Tonic.

The gin itself though is conservative in its approach. It begins as Tanqueray’s London Dry Gin and its scant four botanicals, then adds bitter orange essence and other natural flavors/colors. Tasting Notes In a highball glass, fill with ice and the gin. Add the lemon juice, top with the soda water and give a slight stir. Garnish this with a lemon wedge for the final citrus punch. French 75The 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 features the four signature botanicals of their Tanqueray London Dry Gin as a base. They then add three new ones: bay leaves, ginger and the aforementioned Rangpur Lime. Tasting Notes 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 distilled four times to create a smooth taste and to allow the flavours to shine through. Flavor: Moderate to full body with vibrant bitter orange peel early (think Marmalade, but a touch less sweet). Becomes more dry as it sits on palate. Pine-note juniper and earthy licorice root lend some classic gin color towards the end.

Orange in color, Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla’s 2018 orange flavored gin release was right on trend. Sitting next to other brightly colored, flavored gins from established brands— it wouldn’t seem out of place.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. Past offerings from Tanqueray also include both orange and lemon gins, produced from 1937 until 1957, when both were phased out. [11] The Cameron Bridge Distillery is an all-in-one facility. The wheat-neutral-spirit that is the base of this gin is produced in another area of the complex. Most gin producers bring in this base through a third party. By producing the spirit themselves, it allows a greater consistency before infusing the botanicals and immediately distilling the liquor. Tanqueray starts the process immediately to avoid “stewing” the botanicals. Tanqueray Sterling Vodka was introduced in 1989 and is available in both neutral and citrus flavours. Its main market is the United States. What was once a once-off in 2006, Tanqueray Rangpur is now readily available across the United States, even in 2020.
