The limited edition Malacca from Tanqueray, officially re-introduced in early 2013, is a sweet, tangy gin with a higher citrus content. Originally introduced in the late 1990s from a recipe by Charles Tanqueray from 1839, the gin gained cult status among cocktail bartenders and is now in great demand. Tanqueray Malacca Gin is a limited edition premium product, with 100,000 individually numbered bottles available. While Tanqueray London Dry is a festival of juniper - strong, assertive and astringent, Tanqueray Malacca has more botanical balance - soft, citrusy and evenly flavored. It's delicious, smooth, and tasty enough to sip properly, but has enough flavor and texture to blend, hence its great appeal to the world's bartenders.
