🥃 Tanqueray Blackcurrant Royale
Berry line of Tanqueray: gin flavoured with French blackcurrant, vanilla and black orchid; 41.3% ABV according to Difford's Guide.
Tanqueray Blackcurrant Royale is the berry line of the Tanqueray brand. It is a gin flavoured with French blackcurrant and vanilla, which makes it the most berry-forward expression in the range. Difford's Guide gives the strength as 41.3% ABV. The taste is described as dark and fruity, softened by vanilla, with a light sweetness.
According to Difford's Guide, the gin is produced by Cameronbridge Gin Distillery, and the owner is Diageo. The producer's page names three aromatic ingredients: ripe French blackcurrant, vanilla and black orchid; on the site's menu the drink is listed as Distilled Gin. The producer does not disclose the distillation or the sugar content, so compare it only by the label and by its taste in cocktails.
Why this matters to you. Blackcurrant Royale is the most berry-led of the Tanqueray gins, so it is further from the dry classic London Dry. If you want the familiar juniper taste, choose London Dry; for comparison, look at Flor de Sevilla as well. The WHO reminds us that there is no safe amount of alcohol.
