Tanglin Orchid Gin is a Gin hailing from Singapore.

What is Tanglin Orchid Gin?

Tanglin Orchid Gin captures the essence of Singapore with its unique blend of botanicals, including the rare Vanilla Planifolia orchid. Interestingly, this gin is the first to be distilled in Singapore since the 1940s, marking a revival of the country's spirits industry after a hiatus of nearly eight decades.

Why do we love Tanglin Orchid Gin?

Cocktail enthusiasts should seek out Tanglin Orchid Gin for its distinctive Singaporean twist on the classic spirit. This small-batch gin incorporates native orchids and other regional botanicals like Java pepper and amchur (dried green mango powder), creating a floral, spicy, and slightly tangy flavor profile that's uniquely suited for tropical-inspired cocktails.

How do you drink Tanglin Orchid Gin?

Tanglin Orchid Gin shines in refreshing citrus-forward cocktails or simply served with a premium tonic and a slice of grapefruit, making it perfect for warm summer evenings or tropical getaways. Its delicate floral notes and bright botanicals also pair beautifully with light seafood dishes or Asian-inspired cuisine, especially when sipped neat or over ice to fully appreciate its nuanced flavors.

Tasting Notes

How It's Made

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Fresh citrus notes of lime and grapefruit zest. Floral aromas reminiscent of jasmine and orchid. Hints of juniper and coriander provide a classic gin backbone. Subtle vanilla sweetness in the background.

Palate: Smooth and creamy texture. Initial burst of citrus followed by floral notes. Juniper becomes more prominent. Spicy ginger and white pepper add complexity. Slight nuttiness from the Java almonds. Balanced sweetness from licorice root.

Finish: Medium to long. Warming spice lingers with a touch of citrus peel. Floral notes fade, leaving a clean, crisp finish with subtle vanilla. Gentle juniper and coriander remind you it's a gin at its core.

Tanglin Orchid Gin is crafted in Singapore using a blend of traditional botanicals and unique local ingredients, including vanilla orchids and organic Cambodian Kampot pepper. The distillers use a small-batch copper still and carefully control the temperature to extract the delicate flavors of the orchids without damaging their essential oils, resulting in a smooth, floral gin with a subtle spicy kick.

Tanglin Orchid Gin is Singapore's first-ever gin, crafted using the national flower of Singapore—the Vanda Miss Joaquim orchid—as a key botanical. This rare orchid gives the gin a subtle floral note and a uniquely Singaporean character.

Unlike most gins that use a grain-based spirit, Tanglin Orchid Gin starts with a base distilled from organic red rice and Vietnamese sugarcane. This unusual combination creates a smoother mouthfeel and a hint of natural sweetness.

The gin's recipe includes a secret ingredient known only to the distillers: a native Singaporean orchid compound that took over a year to develop. This mysterious element adds depth and complexity to the gin's flavor profile, making it a true botanical puzzle for gin enthusiasts.
