Tanqueray Blackcurrant Royale 700ml
β β β β Β½ 4.6 (5 reviews)Pour this and the glass goes a deep, jammy purple. One sip and it's ripe blackcurrant and stewed berries up front, a creamy hit of vanilla underneath, then a little floral lift on the way out. It's Tanqueray's classic London Dry given a fruity, grown-up makeover, sweet but never sticky, with the juniper still doing its job in the background. Topped with tonic over a mountain of ice, it's the easiest crowd-pleaser to land on your table tonight.
The nose is all juicy blackcurrant and stewed dark berries, with a whiff of citrus and that piney juniper poking through so you never forget it's a proper gin. On the palate it's rich and a touch decadent: blackcurrant, cherry and mulberry leading, a creamy vanilla note rounding it off, a tart squeeze of citrus and a soft floral whisper from the black orchid. The finish is medium and dessert-like, somewhere between panna cotta and berry compote, with cloves and a flash of green apple if you go looking.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
It's Tanqueray, the English gin house that's been at it since the 1830s and now distils out of Scotland for the world. This one nods to Charles Tanqueray's travels through France back in the 1840s, where the blackcurrant idea was born. Same four classic botanicals that make Tanqueray what it is, juniper, coriander, angelica and liquorice, then French blackcurrant, vanilla and a touch of black orchid layered on top. England, 41.3%, in a 700ml bottle.
