Tasting Notes

Nose

A striking departure from the original. Fresh grapefruit peel dominates the opening — vivid, zesty, almost effervescent. Behind it, orange and lime lend a rounded citrus complexity, while chamomile introduces a delicate, hay-like floral note. The juniper is present but softened, sitting in a supporting role for perhaps the first time in Tanqueray history.

Palate

Silky and elegant, with the same full-bodied weight one expects from the 47.3% ABV. The fresh citrus fruits — grapefruit most prominently — bring a juicy, almost succulent quality to the mid-palate. Juniper reasserts itself here, providing necessary structure, while chamomile adds a gentle bitterness reminiscent of dried flowers. The coriander and angelica from the base recipe remain, lending warmth and dry earthiness respectively.

Finish

Medium-long, with lingering grapefruit zest and a gentle chamomile bitterness. The juniper emerges more clearly in the fade, reclaiming its place as the final note. There is an almost tea-like dryness at the very end — subtle, sophisticated, and thoroughly satisfying.
