In Australia we seem to be getting various spirits at 40% abv rather than the listed abv as per this marvellous authoritative website. Including tanqueray “standard” and Woodford reserve bourbon. I wonder if it relates to Australian import duties! Google searching didn’t uncover helpful info that i could find. Anyone else know? And to what extent does this affect the flavour, since we seem to be talking c. 3-5% lower alcohol in each case?

As you say, I suspect a combination of duty and price point. Very sad!

A splendid gin that balances the flavours of juniper and blended Christmas trees.

Different tastes and different palates. Tanq is the gin that made me not try gin for many years. To me it just tastes like a christmas tree has been run through a blender. Too juniper forward.
