Tanqueray Rangpur Distilled Gin. Cameronbridge Distillery, Scotland an inspired twist on the classic Tanqueray recipe, adding rare Rangpur lime from Bangladesh, ginger, and bay leaves to the four original botanicals for a distinctly zesty, citrus-forward gin with a depth of warmth from the spice additions.

First created in 2006, Tanqueray Rangpur begins with the iconic four-botanical London Dry base juniper, coriander, angelica root, and liquorice then adds three new botanicals: Rangpur lime, fresh ginger, and bay leaves. The Rangpur lime is the key: it is not actually a lime at all, but a naturally occurring hybrid of a mandarin orange and a citron, originating from Bangladesh. Its flavour is more complex than standard lime, carrying notes of both tart citrus and sweet mandarin orange, with a distinctive acidity that makes it especially vivid in a spirit.

The ginger adds a subtle warming heat that stays in the background without asserting itself aggressively. The bay leaves contribute a herbal depth that rounds and integrates the citrus without dulling it. The result is a gin that retains the structure and credibility of Tanqueray London Dry but wears a brighter, more exotic citrus profile best enjoyed in a copa glass with premium tonic, plenty of ice, and a generous wedge of lime.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Punchy and citrus-forward Rangpur lime dominates with a distinctly lime-like character despite the fruit’s mandarin heritage. Fresh limes and mandarin oranges with depth from ginger and bay leaves. Classic Tanqueray licorice and juniper spice underneath.
• Palate: Citrus-forward and slightly sweet. The Rangpur lime delivers a complex citrus blast with hints of lemon, tangerine, and grapefruit behind the primary lime note. Green juniper with pine facets arrives mid-palate. Hints of coriander, laurel, licorice, and a subtle ginger heat round it out.
• Finish: Smooth and lingering with dominant citrus zest and a peppery ginger warmth. More zesty than dry. Refreshing through the close.
