A classic London Dry Gin with a bold juniper flavor, complemented by earthy spices and a crisp finish.
Tanqueray, a legendary London Dry Gin, stands as one of the world's most celebrated spirits. Created in 1830 by Charles Tanqueray, this iconic gin has maintained its prestigious reputation for nearly two centuries, representing the perfect balance of botanicals and traditional distillation methods.
Production Process
Tanqueray follows a closely guarded recipe using four key botanicals: juniper berries, coriander seeds, angelica root, and licorice. The spirit undergoes a unique four-times distillation process in traditional copper pot stills, including the famous "Old Tom" still design that dates back to the 1830s.
Taste Profile
The spirit opens with a distinct juniper-forward character, followed by:
- Crystal clear appearance with a silky smooth texture
- Prominent piney juniper notes balanced with subtle citrus undertones
- Fresh coriander and angelica root provide earthy, spicy complexity
- Clean, crisp finish with lingering warmth and botanical depth
Territory
Though now produced in Scotland, Tanqueray's roots lie in Bloomsbury, London, where Charles Tanqueray first established his distillery. The gin's style epitomizes the London Dry category, adhering to strict regulations that ensure its exceptional quality and character.
