Tanqueray Rangpur Gin

Filed under: Spirits

We don't hear as much about new gins as we do the other white spirits so news of any innovation in this old standard is always welcome. Tanqueray has come out with a new version of their classic gin. Tanqueray Rangpur is distilled with Rangpur limes for a more subtle gin taste with a hint of lime. A review over on Liquor Snob reports that the gin is very smooth and excellent in martinis. The 750 ml will retail for $21.99 and it should be making its way to major markets soon.

Oregon Distillery Moves Toward Whisky

If every state has a vodka (or two), Oregon's is Medoyeff. The vodka, created by House Spirits Distillery in Portland has a loyal following in the state and elsewhere. House Spirits Distillery also has created Aviation Gin and currently has a new project, House Spirits whiskey. An article in Willamette Week reports that House Spirits owners Christian Krogstad and Lee Medoff insist on using local ingredients and are currently in the beginnings of their five year process to create an American whiskey. Given their dedication to craft, this should be a tipple worth waiting for.

Hendrick's Gin

Hold the lime, make it a cucumber! A cucumber is the best choice of fruit for your Hendrick’s gin and tonic. The cucumber brings out the fortifying combination of infused botanicals. In this old apothecary shaped bottle you will find a gin infused with Bulgarian Rose, coriander, and cucumbers. Unlike most English made gins, Hendrick's is small batch distilled in Ayrshire, Scotland. The lowland Scottish water provides the perfect medium for the grain spirit and the unusual array of botanicals.
I can unhesitatingly say this is absolutely the best gin I have ever had. Feathery, crisp, and a clear essence of cucumber. With it I have made an absolutely prestigious gin martini and gin and tonic.

The $3,000 Martini

The Bombay Sapphire Martini at Foxwoods Resort and Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut is for anyone with rich tastes - specifically with a taste for diamonds. The $3,000 drink is made with Bombay Sapphire Gin, Blue Curacao and a splash of dry vermouth, served in a glass rimmed with blue sugar crystals and garnished with custom-made blue sapphire and diamond earrings atop a sterling silver pick. Some are describing it as "pure decadence in a glass," but the Algonquin's $10,000 martini still probably has the edge in the decadence department if your criteria is based on price and the size of the stones that come with the drink.
