A Bit of Tanqueray History
Charles Tanqueray created the world’s finest London Dry Gin in 1830. It’s made today to the same classic recipe. Every bottle carries a seal marking a symbol of quality and 190 years of distilling excellence.
Tiny Ten.
Distillation takes place in a unique copper still called Tiny Ten. It produces a spirit known as the citrus heart which gives Tanqueray No. Ten its bright, elegant citrus taste.
An exceptional taste experience
Tanqueray No. Ten Gin is distilled several times over with Tanqueray’s award-winning gin botanicals of refreshing juniper, peppery coriander, aromatic angelica and sweet liquorice. Whole citrus fruits, including limes, oranges and pink grapefruit, are then added with chamomile flowers.
