Founded by gin lovers with a passion for Singapore, the gin combines botanicals found in the oldest recipes, with new flavours to truly represent the city. 

Singapore now has its very own homemade gin – Tanglin Gin.

Founded by gin lovers with a passion for Singapore, the gin combines botanicals found in the oldest recipes, with new flavours to truly represent the city. 

Founded by Andy Hodgson, Charlie van Eeden, Chris Box and Tim Whitefield the gin’s pedigree is rooted in Singapore’s history of spice growing in the Tanglin neighbourhood. 

As such, Tanglin Gin evokes the botanicals that would have passed through Singapore on the spice route to London to make gin many years ago.

Building on the current gin boom in Singapore, the founders have produced a spirit that combines traditional juniper with more modern spices and botanicals, as well as green unripe mango, two forms of Orchid, whole vanilla beans and organic oranges.

The first gin distillery in Singapore and first new distillery in more than 40 years, Tanglin is located in a “Food Factory” building in Mandai. While the brand dreams of eventually opening their distillery as a destination, right now the goal is to make the best gin possible.

Tanglin Gin is available in bars and restaurants across Singapore including 28 Hong Kong Street, Atlas and 1880. It can also be purchased at retail store The Standish, as well as DFS at Changi Airport.
