Tanqueray Rangpur Lime 700ml
★★★★★ 5.0 (1 review)Pour this into a tall glass of tonic with loads of ice and you basically have a gin that comes with its own lime wedge built in. The Rangpur lime gives it a big, juicy citrus kick that sits right on top of classic Tanqueray juniper. It's the bottle for when you want a G&T that actually tastes alive, not just a splash of tonic doing all the work. Late one in Nairobi, friends over, something on the grill? Grab this.
First thing you get is that zesty citrus burst. Rangpur lime is a mandarin-meets-citron hybrid, so it lands somewhere between lime and a sweet, fragrant tangerine, way rounder than a plain lime. Underneath, the proper Tanqueray backbone holds it together: piney juniper, a little coriander warmth, and a quiet hum of ginger and bay on the finish. It's bright and punchy up front but dry and grown-up at the back, so it never tips into sweet or sticky.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Tanqueray has been distilling gin in England since the 1830s, and this is the family recipe with a twist. They take the same four-botanical London Dry base, juniper, coriander, angelica and liquorice, then layer in ginger, bay leaves and the star of the show, the Rangpur lime. It's a slightly mysterious little citrus, a mandarin and citron cross with skin you can mistake for an orange, and Tanqueray put it front and centre when they launched this expression back in 2006.
