I know that it was discontinued some time ago, but I'm wondering if it's still available anywhere. Has anyone come across Malacca as of late? Wed Dec 06 01:12:39 -0800 2006 39527 becsmidd 1 2074242 have not come across it though has anyone tried Tanqueray rangpur? Wed Dec 06 04:45:08 -0800 2006 2073734 13330 quazi 1 2075847 No, Tanqueray Malacca is not available anywhere anymore. It has bee a long time since they stopped making it and all resrves have been sold. I have friends who work for the US distributor and they couldn't locate any. Last time I saw any was a few last cases in 2003 and I bought all of them, at below wholesale. There are now many extremely good gins out there that are even better than Malacca was.

I have a few bottles that I plan to drink slowly, but will have to drink them quicker if there's a chance they'll go bad. I've got them in the dark in a cool place, which I'd think would be the best conditions to keep them in...

Sun Nov 02 03:19:12 -0800 2008 4143157 10732 JMF 1 3094567 I recently saw some in a liquor store here in NE. I can put you into contact with them if you like. Sun Nov 04 16:19:32 -0800 2007 2073734 62340 Mr Lee Ho 2 3100165 I'd like that info as well. Tue Nov 06 10:33:59 -0800 2007 3094567 10732 JMF 3 3101659 Here you go. FWIW I think it was pint or half pint but they may also have 750s. I was in there today and forgot to look, sorry. BTW you will probably want to call during daytime hours and ask for either Jerry or Chuck. They are the owners, I'm pretty sure the college kids working at night won't know anything about it. PS Where are you located at? This place is in the middle of Nebraska.

As a writer who specializes in gin it would be great to have some of this in my collection again. I'm mostly in Maine and part time in NY, been in and through Nebraska quite a few times on my journies- Mr Lee Ho could you email me?

Sat Sep 20 06:25:13 -0700 2008 4047612 10732 JMF 3 4049949 Man.....I gotta be quicker on the uptake. :) Thankfully a friend who owns a restaurant set me up with a bottle of Malacca, but I would willingly buy more, much more.

Tue Sep 23 04:59:23 -0700 2008 4049949 10732 JMF 1 4713034 I see this thread has been going on for a while. Has anyone found any Malacca recently? Is anyone still looking, or should we assume all the remaining stocks are long-gone? Mon May 25 11:03:16 -0700 2009 2073734 283923 Womack 2 4794684 I still have a few 1 liter and 375 ml bottles left.
