Picture a Tanqueray G&T, then turn the citrus up loud. That's Rangpur. It's the classic juniper gin you know, but distilled with Rangpur lime, a tangy little Indian citrus that drinks like a lime and a mandarin had a baby. Pour it over ice, top with tonic, and the whole glass smells like fresh lime zest before you've even sipped. Easiest crowd-pleaser in the cabinet, and we'll have it at your door fast, late nights included.
The nose hits first: bright lime juice and lime zest with that piney juniper sitting underneath. On the sip it's zesty and just a touch sweet, the lime leading the way with a rounder, juicy-mandarin edge that keeps it from going sour. Then a little warmth creeps in from the ginger and a peppery kick that balances all that citrus. It finishes clean and fresh, the kind of zing that makes you want another. Smooth, never harsh, even neat.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Tanqueray is one of the great old names in gin, and Rangpur is its zesty younger sibling, launched in 2006. The clever bit is the Rangpur lime, which isn't actually a true lime at all but a hybrid of mandarin and citron. That's the secret to why this drinks tart yet round instead of sharp. Distilled in England the proper Tanqueray way, juniper, coriander, angelica and liquorice at the base, with lime, ginger and bay leaf layered on top. Bottled at 41.3%.
