What is Tanglin Black Powder Gin?
Tanglin Black Powder Gin stands out with its bold, smoky flavor profile, achieved through the use of New Zealand Manuka wood chips during distillation. This unique gin also incorporates Java peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, creating a spicy kick that perfectly complements the smoky notes, making it an ideal base for a sophisticated Negroni or an elevated Gin and Tonic. Interestingly, Tanglin Black Powder Gin is named after Singapore's first gin distillery, which operated in the 1860s and produced gunpowder for the British Army – a nod to the spirit's rich historical roots and the distillery's commitment to honoring Singapore's heritage.
Why do we love Tanglin Black Powder Gin?
Cocktail enthusiasts should seek out Tanglin Black Powder Gin for its bold, Navy-strength profile (57% ABV) and its unique blend of Asian botanicals, including Java pepper and Amchoor (green mango powder). This Singaporean gin stands out for its intense licorice and spice notes, making it perfect for crafting robust cocktails that pack a flavorful punch.
How do you drink Tanglin Black Powder Gin?
Tanglin Black Powder Gin shines in classic gin cocktails that let its bold spice notes take center stage, though it's equally delightful sipped neat or over ice to savor its complexity. This robust gin is perfect for cooler evenings or autumn gatherings, pairing wonderfully with hearty dishes like grilled meats or rich, spiced curries that complement its peppery profile.

Nose: Juniper forward with bright citrus notes of mandarin and lime. Underlying hints of black tea and peppery spice add depth. A subtle earthy aroma reminiscent of damp forest floor lingers in the background.
Palate: Smooth and full-bodied. Initial burst of juniper gives way to a complex blend of citrus and spice. Mandarin orange and kaffir lime leaves provide a zesty freshness. Black tea tannins and Sichuan peppercorns create a pleasantly dry, tingling sensation. Subtle notes of orchid and vanilla add a touch of sweetness.
Finish: Long and warming. The peppery spice intensifies, leaving a gentle heat on the tongue. Citrus notes fade, allowing the earthy tea flavors to shine through. A hint of juniper returns at the very end, rounding out the experience with a classic gin signature.
Tanglin Black Powder Gin is crafted in Singapore using a unique blend of botanicals, including the rare orchid flower. What sets this gin apart is its use of black gunpowder tea as a key ingredient, which adds a distinctive smoky and earthy character to the spirit while paying homage to Singapore's historical spice trade.
