Tanqueray launches gin made from Seville oranges
Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla is the newest addition to the gin manufacturer’s portfolio, made with oranges from the Spanish city of Seville.
The new blend pays homage to Tanqueray’s roots, when founder Charles Tanqueray used the world-famous citrus fruit in his original 1830s recipes. The gin profile is sweet and tangy with tangerine notes and hints of juniper and coriander.
Anita Robinson, Europe category director for Gin, said: “Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla is something really new for the world of gin and reflects our love of innovating with flavour. We’ve matched the quality of 200 years of Tanqueray heritage with a fresh new flavour that captures the spirit of Seville in a perfectly balanced gin.
“The result is incredibly exciting and we’re sure that bartenders everywhere will enjoy bringing a little bit of Seville into their customers’ lives this summer.”
The new blend from Tanqueray is available from April across the on and off-trade. Perfect serves include mixing the gin with tonic and garnishing with a wedge of fresh orange.
Alternatively, bartenders and consumers alike can experiment with the Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla Negroni, made with red herbal liqueur and sweet vermouth, garnished with a slice of orange.
Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla has an ABV of 41.3% and will retail at £25.00 in the off-trade.
