Tanqueray Blackcurrant Royale
The dark purple Tanqueray. French blackcurrants and vanilla on a London Dry base, with a floral note inspired by black orchids. At 41.3%, the sweetest and fruitiest of the range.
Blackcurrant, vanilla and a floral twist
Tanqueray Blackcurrant Royale is a flavored gin based on the London Dry. French blackcurrants and vanilla are added, along with a floral note that, according to the brand, is inspired by black orchids. The color is deep purple, partly from added coloring.
Where Flor de Sevilla is bittersweet and Rangpur is fresh and tart, this gin is juicy and gently sweet. The juniper is still recognizable, but the fruit takes center stage. At 41.3% alcohol, it is still a full-strength gin, not a liqueur; it is intended for anyone looking for a fruity gin and tonic or a berry cocktail.
