Tanqueray Malacca Distilled Gin is a unique interpretation of the classic Tanqueray style and has been regarded as one of the brand’s most sought-after variants since its initial release. Originally produced only in limited quantities, Malacca quickly became a sought-after collector’s item due to its smooth, more aromatic gin profile. In contrast to the distinctly dry London Dry style, Malacca is rounder, more fruit-forward and features a pronounced emphasis on exotic botanicals. It is produced using traditional methods, with juniper, citrus notes and finely balanced spices blending harmoniously together. At 41.3% ABV, it is pleasantly mild yet aromatically open, making it particularly versatile for both classic drinks and modern cocktail creations.

Malacca’s recipe draws on historical 19th-century gin styles inspired by trade routes in South-East Asia. This heritage is reflected in its warm, slightly sweet and spice-driven aroma. Its softer texture and more pronounced fruity notes clearly set it apart from other Tanqueray bottlings, making it a characterful gin that is ideal for connoisseurs who prefer an aromatically complex, less dry variant. The 1-litre bottle also offers an attractive format for bars and gin enthusiasts who appreciate its smooth, exotically influenced style.

Tasting Note

Colour: Crystal clear.

Nose: Gentle juniper, warm spices, exotic citrus notes, a hint of sweetness and subtle herbal undertones.

Palate: Soft, round and aromatic with juniper, spices, sweet citrus, floral notes and harmonious spice.

Finish: Long-lasting, mild and elegant with warm spicy and fruity accents.

Tanqueray Malacca is ideal for a gin and tonic with slightly fruity tonics, accompanied by lime zest or grapefruit, which emphasise its exotic character. In cocktails such as the Tom Collins, Southside or Gin Daisy, its soft, spicy fruitiness unfolds particularly elegantly. Its aromatic warmth provides a harmonious complement to dishes such as Asian cuisine, seafood, fresh salads or mild curries. It also makes a finely balanced accompaniment to desserts featuring citrus or exotic fruits. Enjoyed neat or on the rocks, it reveals its mild, long-lasting character and the distinctive botanical depth of this rare Tanqueray variant.
