Tanqueray Rangpur Lime Gin
Tanqueray · Cameronbridge Distillery
Rangpur sits in the productive space between classic London Dry and contemporary citrus-forward gins. The Rangpur lime — a mandarin-lemon hybrid from India — gives Tanqueray's four-botanical backbone a different kind of tension, one that tips toward sour rather than sweet. It is a gin that was clearly designed for the gimlet but earns its keep neat.
Nose
Bright Rangpur lime citrus dominates the opening, immediately fresh and almost tart. Juniper follows in a supporting role — green and herbal rather than resinous — with ginger and a crack of black pepper underneath.
Palate
The lime carries through on the palate but opens up into a warmer register, revealing coriander seed, a touch of ginger heat, and a subtle lemon zest brightness. The juniper is measured but present, a steady hand in the background.
Finish
Clean and crisp with lingering lime peel bitterness and a gentle peppery warmth that extends the experience.

Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla Gin
Tanqueray
Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla takes the classic London dry structure and overlays it with actual Seville orange botanicals, creating a gin that bridges tradition and accessibility.

Tanqueray Lovage London Dry Gin
Tanqueray
Part of Tanqueray's limited-edition heritage series inspired by Charles Tanqueray's original recipes, Lovage brings back a Victorian-era botanical that most modern gins have forgotten. The savory character makes it a natural partner for a proper gin and tonic with a celery garnish, and a genuinely distinctive alternative to the floral gin trend.
Tanqueray No. Ten Tiny Ten Gin
Tanqueray
Tanqueray's Tiny Ten format delivers the same fresh-citrus-forward profile that made No. Ten a modern classic. The grapefruit-juniper interplay is effortlessly balanced, and the chamomile adds a dimension that keeps this from being just another citrus gin. Versatile in cocktails, excellent with a quality tonic.
Tanqueray Bloomsbury London Dry Gin
Tanqueray
A limited revival of an archival Tanqueray recipe that predates the modern London Dry style. Bloomsbury dials up the juniper and botanical complexity while keeping the trademark Tanqueray structure. It's an education in what London Dry can be at its most articulate.

Cadenhead's Old Raj Dry Gin
Cadenhead's
Old Raj is a gin of rare character—the saffron infusion turns a classic juniper-forward profile into something genuinely singular, perfect for the waning warmth of November. Its navy strength makes it a commanding presence in cocktails or neat, and its Scottish provenance from one of the oldest independent bottlers in the world lends quiet authority. A gin that feels like the last golden light before winter.
Ford's Gin Officers' Reserve Navy Strength Gin
Ford's Gin
Officers' Reserve is the rare navy strength gin that earns its extra proof through genuine complexity rather than brute force. The brief Oloroso sherry cask rest is a masterclass in restraint—adding just enough richness to elevate the classic Ford's botanical profile without obscuring it. A gin that rewards trust in the process, and in the craft of blending tradition with innovation.
