Nose: Jaffas (if you're not Australian you need to Google it). This smells exactly like Jaffas. For the rest of the world: orange syrup and/or orange curacao.
Palate: The arrival is all bittersweet orange. As it develops it expands, slowly losing sweetness and spreading throughout the palate. A tiny juniper note emerges, but little else. It's rather one-note.
Finish: Medium/long. Sweet orange zest and faint juniper-herbal notes on the bittersweet aftertaste.
This is heavy on the Seville orange and not subtle, so although it's OK for an occasional change you wouldn't want it to be the only gin in the cupboard. In fact, every time I've used this gin I've enjoyed it, but instantly reached for a "classic" gin to make my next drink. Tanqueray has other such flavoured gins in their portfolio and whilst they are all OK I do feel that they are really just a novelty.
"Average" : 77/100 (2.5 stars)
