Jeb DunnuckWhere the best of Singapore meets the best of botanicals. Thie Tanglin Orchid Gin is not merely a bottle of Gin - it’s the Spirit of Singapore, distilled to perfection. We like to call this is an old-world modern gin. The pine of the Juniper is unmistakably there and the herbaceous flavour notes come from classic gin botanicals. But the twist comes from Indian Amchoor – the powdered form of green unripe mango which adds an extra citrus note. And then we come to our not so secret ingredient (the clue is in the name, Orchid Gin). But its not used in the way you might think, we use two forms of orchid. Firstly Dendrobium nobile Lindl which is Shi Hu in Pinyin. The botanical is added in a powdered form of the dried stalk, mirroring its prominent use in Chinese Medicine where it was first described in Shen Nong’s Herbal Classics written about 2500 years ago.
