Production & Heritage

Tanqueray Rangpur is produced exclusively at the Cameronbridge Gin Distillery in Fife, Scotland — the only facility in the world where Tanqueray gin is made. The spirit undergoes four separate distillations using a one-shot method, building on the brand's traditional botanical recipe of juniper, angelica root, liquorice, and coriander seeds, then adding Rangpur limes, bay leaves, and ginger. The Rangpur lime itself is a distinguishing ingredient: despite its name, it is not a true lime but a hybrid of mandarin orange and citron (Citrus × limonia), which delivers the tartness of lime with the rounded juiciness of mandarin — a combination no other mainstream gin replicates.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Bold citrus arrives first, led by the unmistakable brightness of fresh Rangpur lime peel. Beneath that initial burst, classic juniper emerges alongside a warm hint of ginger that adds unexpected depth.

Taste: The entry is crisp and juicy, with Rangpur lime dominating the front palate in a way that feels naturally sweet rather than artificially flavored. At mid-palate, earthy botanicals — juniper and coriander — reassert themselves, while bay leaf and subtle ginger spice create a layered complexity. The balance between citrus and traditional gin character stays tight throughout.

Finish: Long and elegant, with a lingering citrus freshness that slowly fades into refined smoothness. The ginger provides a gentle warming quality on the close without overpowering the lime.

How to Drink Rangpur

Neat or over a single large ice cube is the clearest way to appreciate the interplay between Rangpur lime and the classic Tanqueray botanical base. A splash of tonic and a lime wheel makes for one of the most effortless gin-and-tonics available. Three cocktails that showcase this gin particularly well:

• Gimlet — The Rangpur lime character intensifies beautifully against simple lime cordial, reducing the need for additional citrus juice.
• Gin Rickey — Soda water and fresh lime let the ginger and bay leaf botanicals shine without competition from heavy sweeteners.
• Southside — Mint and lime juice complement the gin's existing citrus-herbal backbone, creating a seamless, refreshing cocktail.

Best For

• Upgrading a home gin-and-tonic ritual with a naturally citrus-driven base spirit
• Gifting a cocktail enthusiast who gravitates toward bright, citrus-forward drinks
• Warm-weather entertaining where refreshing, low-effort serves are essential
• Bartenders building a back bar that covers both classic and modern gin styles

What does Rangpur taste like? Tanqueray Rangpur delivers bold, juicy Rangpur lime flavor layered over classic juniper, with subtle ginger spice and bay leaf adding complexity beneath the citrus.

How does Rangpur compare to Tanqueray No. Ten? Tanqueray No. Ten leans more heavily into a balanced, juniper-forward profile with fresh citrus undertones, while Rangpur puts its signature lime squarely at center stage. Both are four-times distilled, but No. Ten is typically considered the more classic gin expression whereas Rangpur appeals to drinkers who want citrus to lead.

Is Rangpur good for cocktails? Rangpur excels in cocktails that call for gin with pronounced citrus character, particularly Gimlets, gin-and-tonics, and Rickeys, where its built-in lime brightness reduces the need for extra citrus juice.

Where is Rangpur made? Tanqueray Rangpur is distilled at the Cameronbridge Gin Distillery in Fife, Scotland, the sole production site for all Tanqueray gins worldwide.

What foods pair well with Rangpur? Thai green curry benefits from the gin's lime and ginger notes echoing the dish's aromatics. Ceviche mirrors its bright acidity. Grilled prawns with lime butter amplify the citrus connection. Goat cheese salads find contrast in the gin's sweetly tart Rangpur lime character. Lemon tart or key lime pie extend the citrus theme into dessert.

What sizes does Rangpur come in? The standard bottle is 750ml, and Tanqueray Rangpur is also commonly available in 1L and 375ml formats depending on market.

Is Rangpur worth the price? Tanqueray Rangpur positions as a premium expression within the Tanqueray range, sitting slightly above the standard London Dry but below ultra-premium competitors — strong value given its back-to-back Gold Medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Why Rangpur?

Consecutive Gold Medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2020 and 2021 validate what bartenders have recognized for years: this is one of the most distinctive citrus gins in its price tier. The use of genuine Rangpur limes — a mandarin-citron hybrid rather than a common lime — gives the spirit a flavor profile that cannot be replicated by simply adding lime peel to a standard botanical bill. Four distillations at Cameronbridge ensure the citrus integration feels structural rather than superficial. For anyone seeking a gin that bridges the gap between traditional juniper character and modern citrus-driven taste, Rangpur occupies a category position that few competitors can match.
