Production Notes

The eleven botanicals in Tanglin Gininclude those traditionally used in gin, like juniper, coriander seed, angelica root, and orris root.But from there thespirit takes an original turn with the use of vanilla pods and amchoor, a fruity spice powder made from dried unripe green mango.

Also present are the dried stems of an orchid varietyknown as shihu, an herb commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine and understood to have great health benefits. Whole organic oranges grown in the distiller’s family home in Victoria, Australia provide an additional citrusy note.

The gin is distilled in a pot and still column, and as a final step, distilled water is used to reduce it to its final42% ABV.

Developed by four expats living in Singapore, the Tanglin team worked with the Singapore government for three years in order to establish the country’s first gin distillery.

Thedesire was to create a gin that reflected the essence of Singapore, acity-state known for its tremendous diversity,with people from many different cultures living together on the island.

The Tanglin area of Singapore was formerly the native jungle habitat of the white tiger. The land was cleared in the 19th century to make way for spice plantations, as Singapore becamean essentialtrading port.Today this area ishome to thecountry’s UNESCOWorld Heritage-listed botanic gardens, where the main entranceis known as the Tanglin Gate. The shape of the gate is reflected in the bottle’s label.

Tanglin Gin has fast becomethe gin of choice attop bars and restaurants across theisland, andhas even inspired a bit of a local gin craze in Southeast Asia.
