Really delicious. If you are looking for a citrus kick, this will serve that with little trouble. It made a phenomenal gimlet, as well as a delicious gin and tonic.
The juicy mandarin really comes through on the aroma, covering up the juniper actually. As you taste, the ginger and juniper make appearances, the Rangpur lime is still holding strong.
Despite being on the market for over fifteen years, Tanqueray Rangpur Lime Gin endures because the popularity of citrus-forward gins has remained high. Overall, while it loses marks for balance, it’s a solid mixing gin for fans of citrus-forward gin.
The Tangueray Rangpur was a bit of a disappointment for me. I thought the citrus push was perhaps a little too strong and the mild burn the spirit possesses is apparent in both the delivery and in the finish. Having said that, a simple ice cube alleviates the burn, and the citrus elements of the gin express themselves very well in cocktails and bar drinks
Medium mouth feel. Sweet and effervescent. Lots of limes, lemon zest and pepper. Light cardamom, faint basic, confectioners sugar.
Finish:
Long, sweet and citrus. Almost a light vanilla sweetness, but brought back in check with some more lime zest and cracked pepper.
Overall:
Really delicious. If you are looking for a citrus kick, this will serve that with little trouble. It made a phenomenal gimlet, as well as a delicious gin and tonic.
