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. Tanqueray Malacca Gin is more well known for its absence from the market than anything else. Originally released in 1997 as a lighter, easier style companion to the iconic Tanqueray London Dry Gin, Tanqueray Malacca Gin was pulled from the market around 2001. For most spirits, being discontinued would be the end of the story, but for Tanqueray Malacca it’s really the beginning.

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. Medium mouth feel, no real heat. Lots of sweet cream, peaches, cucumber, white pepper. Very floral. It is one of Diageo's sixteen "strategic brands" earmarked for prioritisation in promotion and distribution worldwide. [1] History [ edit ] When gin, and not equine toiletries, won out in Tanqueray’s heart, he dedicated himself wholly to improving what passed for gin at the time, taking on industry leaders Felix Booth and Alexander Gordon (he’d go on to partner with the latter). While developing what would become his flagship recipe, Tanqueray stumbled upon his preferred method for distilling botanicals into a small quantity of neutral grain spirit before distilling the larger batch for the final time. It was one of the first innovations in botanical infusion, central to the whole “how-is-this-delicious-gin-not-vodka?” question.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. Gin lovers have been enjoying this flavored spirit since 2007. Bay leaf, ginger, juniper, and other botanicals are carefully mixed to create this winning flavor. The realm of flavored gins is ever-evolving, and Tanqueray ensures that its brand does not fall behind. To do this, they often release different types of Tanqueray gin in the market. Each variety is crafted with revolutionary and distinct botanical blends without compromising the stellar quality of the fantastic boozy drink. Tanqueray Sterling Vodka was introduced in 1989 and is available in both neutral and citrus flavours. Its main market is the United States. Short but complex. Lots of grassy floral character, along with sweet cream, light peach and orange peel notes and white pepper.

This variety features the botanical blend of the original gin, with chamomile flowers and fresh citrus fruits such as grapefruit, lime, and orange added to the mystifying recipe. This fruity spirit is the perfect drink for juniper-averse gin drinkers. 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. 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. 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. 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.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.

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.

Retrieved 7 October 2022. Gin and Tonic: bright, lots of vanilla and creamy citrus, downplayed juniper for sure. I like the creamy finish. Although the strength isn’t as strong as traditional Tanqueray, the flavors maintain their intensity even with tonic. Delicious mixed drink, highly recommended.Aviation: Perhaps what this was explicitly built for. Rich vanilla and violet, swirling citrus and merengue with a touch of bright juniper. Very nice.

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.
