Tanqueray Bloomsbury Gin

A limited edition release from the Tanqueray range, with a decidedly juniper-focussed mindset. It's based on a historical Tanqueray family recipe from a recipe book dating back to 1880 which called for double the juniper as well as cassia bark - which doesn't feature in the classic Tanqueray London Dry Gin recipe at all! This makes for a great gin to use in long drinks, so get your favourite tonic water ready and enjoy.

The nose is quite beautiful right from the bottle. There’s a heavy angelica edge to the juniper dominated nose. Coriander lends a citrusy earthiness to it. Pine and juniper lead early. Coriander adds depth mid-palate. While the savory is subtle, cassia adds an earthy hue especially as the gin begins the get towards its finish.Towards the finish, there’s a slight dark spiced citrus note hovering in the background. Medium long, herbaceous and waxy juniper hovers. With repeated sips, angelica becomes a bit more prominent.
