🥃 Tanqueray Rangpur
Citrus line of Tanqueray from 2006: Rangpur lime, ginger and bay leaf were added to the London Dry recipe; 41.3% ABV according to Gin Guild.
Tanqueray Rangpur is the citrus line of the Tanqueray brand, which appeared in 2006. It is a gin with Rangpur lime, a fruit that combines the features of lime and mandarin. Gin Guild gives the strength as 41.3% ABV. The taste is described as fresh and spicy, with zest and a soft finish, and the ginger adds a light sharpness that the classic does not have.
According to Gin Guild, Rangpur lime, ginger and bay leaf were added to the Tanqueray London Dry recipe, and the drink is described as a gin distilled four times. The producer's page does not give the strength or the distillation method, so these details come from the Gin Guild catalogue. Other production details are not disclosed in the sources, so we limit ourselves to these facts.
Why this matters to you. Rangpur is the line closest to the classic among the fruit editions: the juniper framework remains, but with lime and ginger. For a drier taste choose London Dry, and for more citrus brightness choose No. Ten. The WHO reminds us that there is no safe amount of alcohol.
