First Impressions
Tanqueray Rangpur uses rare Rangpur limes — a citrus hybrid grown in India that crosses the mandarin orange with the citron — alongside the classic Tanqueray four botanicals (juniper, coriander, angelica, and liquorice). At 41.3% ABV, it has the strength to maintain gin identity beneath the vibrant lime character.
Tasting
The nose is lime-dominated with juniper and Tanqueray's signature liquorice. On the palate, slightly sweet and citrus-forward with complex lime, tangerine, and grapefruit, alongside green juniper, liquorice, and subtle ginger heat. The finish is slightly dry with sour citrus and peppery ginger warmth. Best in warm-weather mixed drinks and G&Ts.
The Bottom Line
Tanqueray Rangpur earns a 7 for introducing rare Indian Rangpur limes to the Tanqueray formula. The citrus is complex and vivid, the 41.3% provides backbone, and the ginger warmth is a pleasant surprise. At around £22, a summer essential from a heritage brand.
