Tanqueray TEN

Tanqueray No. TEN, a premium small-batch gin, represents the pinnacle of Tanqueray's craftsmanship. Launched in 2000, it quickly established itself as a benchmark for super-premium gins, becoming the first gin to enter the San Francisco World Spirits Competition Hall of Fame.

Production Process

The gin is crafted in small batches using a unique four-step distillation process in "Tiny Ten," a small copper pot still specifically designed for its production. What sets Tanqueray No. TEN apart is the use of fresh, whole citrus fruits rather than dried peels, along with hand-selected botanicals including juniper, coriander, licorice, and chamomile flowers.
