About Tanglin Singapore Gin
With Tanglin Singapore Gin you'll experience the tantalizing, unexpected flavors and aromas of young ginger and Kaffir Lime leaves intermingling with chili, cassia and mandarin peel for a delicious, just-so spicy taste.
Tanglin Singapore Gin is the latest expression to arrive to the US from Tanglin, Singapore's first ever locally-produced gin distillery.
Double Gold winner - San Francisco World Spirits Competition, 2022
Tasting Notes
On the nose you'll find fresh natural sweet mandarin citrus, a hint of orange blossom and kaffir lime. This evolves into the taste of kaffir lime, mandarin, and a hint of ginger. A hint of warmth lingers on the finish (spice without burn), owing to the ginger, Kampot Pepper, and chili.
Suggested Serves
- Pour over ice, top with soda, and add a lime wheel. Unusually refreshing.
- Like it spicy? Swap Singapore Tanglin gin for vodka in a Bloody Mary and make it a Red Snapper

Production Notes
The botanicals used in Tanglin's Singapore Gin include those native to Asia, like young ginger, and Kaffir Lime leaves, as well as chili, cassia, and mandarin peel.
The gin is distilled in a pot and still column. As a final step, distilled water is used to reduce it to its final 42% 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.
The desire was to create a gin that reflected the essence of Singapore, a city-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 became an essential trading port. Today this area is home to the country's UNESCO World Heritage-listed botanic gardens, where the main entrance is known as the Tanglin Gate. The shape of the gate is reflected in the bottle's label.
Tanglin Gin has fast become the gin of choice at top bars and restaurants across the island, and has even inspired a bit of a local gin craze in Southeast Asia.
