The Lime That Isn't Quite a Lime
The Rangpur lime is a naturally occurring citrus hybrid with the zestiness of lime and the juiciness of mandarin orange, named for the city of Rangpur in Bangladesh — and it is the whole reason this gin exists. Tanqueray takes its legendary London Dry base and re-distills it with Rangpur lime, fresh ginger, and bay leaves, producing something the original never was: exotic, zesty, and punchy, with citrus quality and mandarin-orange depth over ginger warmth. Launched in 2006 and a fixture of the range ever since, it remains the citrus-lover's Tanqueray. Explore more Tanqueray gins or compare styles in the gin collection.
Tasting Notes
Punchy Rangpur lime on the nose with fresh mandarin and ginger depth; the palate is citrus-forward — lime, lemon, tangerine, grapefruit — over the classic juniper backbone, with a smooth, lingering finish of citrus zest and warming ginger.
