Celebrate Summer With Tanqueray Bloomsbury

At only 20-years-old, Charles Waugh Tanqueray took over the gin company after his father, Charles Tanqueray, passed away. Tanqueray master distiller Tom Nichol looked to the younger Tanqueray for the inspiration behind the gin’s newest edition: Tanqueray Bloomsbury. The original recipe goes back to 1880, when the Tanqueray distillery was based out of Bloomsbury, England.

Tanqueray Bloomsbury features prominent notes of Tuscan juniper along with additional botanicals including coriander, angelica, winter savoury and cassia bark.

“I wanted to make something that was completely different from our other limited editions and with this gin I do feel we have achieved that. It is very inspirational to work with an original Tanqueray family recipe, and for it to taste this good,” says Nichol.

Meet the Spicy Sauvy B: Your new favorite summer wine cocktail
Learn how to make the hottest drink of the summer
Sliced jalapenos

I consider myself something of a conundrum professionally. After all, I'm often paid to taste and write about wine. I've studied wine extensively, and I drink...well, more than my fair share of wine — we'll leave it at that. But no part of me is pretentious about this beloved beverage. Of course, I can appreciate the extravagant bottles that are auctioned for millions and all but worshiped in dusty, luxurious wine cellars. But I'm a firm believer that wine needn't be painfully expensive to be delectable, and I actually enjoy new twists and trends in the wine world that so many of my colleagues turn their noses at.

That's why I was thrilled when I saw this new wine trend making its rounds through social media. The Spicy Sauvy B was a new twist on wine with a sexy name and even more alluring simplicity. Two ingredients that seem to have been made for each other, and we're only now just starting to recognize this miraculous pairing? It just goes to show that we shouldn't be so quick to dismiss social media food trends. Because, for all the hot dog straws and other foolishness out there, there's always a great idea just waiting to be discovered.
