Premium gin Tanqueray has launched Tanqueray Blackcurrant Royale in Australia. The unique new gin, made with French blackcurrants and vanilla notes, is inspired by Charles Tanqueray’s travels to France in the 1840s.

The French approach of living life to the fullest spurred the development of the latest addition to the Diageo gin’s flavour range, with Blackcurrant Royale described as a “juicy, decadent gin”. It features the four botanicals of the brand’s London Dry Gin, balanced with juicy blackcurrants from France, warm vanilla and floral notes of black orchid.

Blackcurrant Royale can be mixed with tonic for a crisp and refreshing tasting serve, or a more luxurious serve mixed with prosecco and lemon.
