emperor: (gin)

[livejournal.com profile] atreic brought me a bottle of this back from the US. It's additionally infused through rangpurs, as well as ginger and bay leaves and the usual Tanqueray botanicals. There is a definite limeyness to the smell and taste, and it's perhaps a little softer than I remember Tanqueray being neat (we don't have any ordinary Tanqueray in at the moment). If anything, the citrus smell comes through more when you add a little tonic. Some reviews I've read say the lime taste is strong to the point of overpowering; I have to disagree - if anything, it could cope with more lime!

I'm afraid it's only available in the USA at the moment, but I might give you some if you visit and ask nicely ;-)
