High-end gin brand Tanqueray is hoping to capitalise on the flavoured gin boom with the launch of a blackcurrant expression called Blackcurrant Royale.
The 41.3% ABV gin, inspired by Charles Tanqueray’s travels to France, is made with the four botanicals of Tanqueray London Dry Gin blended with French blackcurrants, vanilla and black orchid, to add “exotic floral notes”.
Brand owner Diageo describes the gin as “luxurious, with a rich and sophisticated flavour profile that will elevate a crisp summer gin and tonic”.
Tanqueray Blackcurrant Royale is on sale now on Amazon, and is due to hit supermarket shelves on 17 February, with plans to roll it out in the on-trade later this year.
