Tanqueray is a renowned British gin brand that was established in 1830 by Charles Tanqueray in the Bloomsbury district of London. The brand is particularly noted for its forward-thinking approach to gin distillation, which was somewhat revolutionary at the time, incorporating exotic botanicals from around the world. After the original distillery was severely damaged during World War II, production moved to Scotland.
Tanqueray Blackcurrant Royale is a flavoured gin that artfully blends the brand's classic London Dry profile with rich, fruity, and floral elements. Introduced in 2021, this expression is inspired by Charles Tanqueray's travels to France in the 1840s, capturing the decadence and elegance of French flavours.
Nose:
The aroma is complex and fruity, featuring ripe French blackcurrants complemented by delicate vanilla and subtle floral hints of black orchid.
Palate:
On the palate, it offers a juicy burst of blackcurrant, balanced by the creamy softness of vanilla and a touch of juniper spice, creating a harmonious blend of sweet and savoury notes.
Finish:
The finish is smooth and lingering, with the sweetness of blackcurrant fading into soft vanilla and a gentle hint of juniper.
