I tasted it again last week for the first time in over four years. (I just returned from an extended assignment in Singapore, where my gin options were more limited.) Maybe the intervening years have exaggerated my memory of the taste, but it seems like the lime flavor is more subtle than I remember. Still good, though.
Based on some of the comments in this thread, Dad and I opened up a bottle of Tanqueray Rangpur this week. We both thought the citrus flavor was WAY too aggressive. It was almost like it was pre-mixed with Sprite or something.
We were having it plain, on the rocks. I am going to try it as a G&T next, but cannot see myself purchasing any more of it.
