I had the same experience with Rangpur lime also, not quite right in the lime flavor.
Standard Tanqueray is the standard classic bar G&T around here, with the tonic from the gun (which is too sweet!!)
Tanqueray 10 I've had a handful of times and I do like it. It's available at the mid to higher service cocktail bars.
My goto at home is always Plymouth Navy strength with Fever-Tree Mediterranean/lime twist with very little ice. Maybe a dash of Ango if I'm feeling fancy. I cannot get this version of G&T out in any bar, high brow or low brow.
We have a few boutique distilleries locally and I've tried their gins neat and at room temperature to get a good idea of the flavors. I get looked at funny drinking gins straight. I haven't found one I like as well as Plymouth Navy though. I'm kind of surprised that one hasn't fit my tastes. The botanical lists are so poetic on the descriptions.
