Tanglin Gin Information

TANGLIN WAS NAMED AFTER THE CHINESE NAME TWA TANG LENG WHICH MEANS "GREAT EAST HILL PEAKS”. It is a neighbourhood in Singapore that used to be home to many Spice plantations. Like its famous neighbour Orchard, 17th century Tanglin mostly comprised of gambier, nutmeg and pepper plantations. But, again like its neighbour, the colonial period saw Tanglin converted into residences for the Europeans and Chinese. We like to call this is an old-world modern gin. The pine of the Juniper is unmistakably there and the herbaceous flavour notes come from classic gin botanicals. But the twist comes from Indian Amchoor – the powdered form of green unripe mango which adds an extra citrus note. And then we come to our not so secret ingredient (the clue is in the name, Orchid Gin).
