Ever heard of Rangpur lime? Neither had we… until we tasted the zesty goodness of Tanqueray’s Rangpur Lime Distilled Gin and needed to peel back the flavour layers, pronto.

WHEN IS A LIME NOT A LIME?

A Rangpur lime hails from India and looks like an orange but is actually a cross between a mandarin and a lemon. Talk about a chameleon. 

Anyway, the important thing to note here is when our new favourite “lime” is blended with Tanqueray’s perfectly-balanced botanicals (piney juniper, peppery coriander and sweet licorice) – as it is in the Tanqueray Rangpur Lime Distilled Gin – its alluring dance of citrus-y pine in your mouth gives you all kinds of fine feels.

And after no international travel for as long as we can remember, this is as close to an exotic holiday as we’ll get this weekend. 

WANT MORE?

Tanqueray’s got another drop up their sleeve, distilled in small batches with the legend-status London Dry recipe botanicals, Tanqueray No. 10 Gin adds grapefruit, orange, lime and chamomile flours to the tastebuds. Smooth and delicious, there’s a reason why it was awarded a place in the Hall of Fame at the San Francisco Spirits Awards. 

Now, which will you try first?
