Tanqueray London Dry Gin — England 94.6 Proof | 1.75L Magnum

Fortune favors the brave — and in the 1830s, Charles Tanqueray was brave enough to trade the church for the still and pursue perfection. Distilling in London with a recipe of extraordinary balance and precision, Tanqueray developed a four-botanical formula — juniper, coriander, angelica root, and liquorice — distilled four times in a single copper pot still to create a gin of unmatched clarity and character. Nearly two centuries and 180 years of distilling excellence later, Tanqueray London Dry remains one of the most awarded gins in the world. The 1.75L Magnum is the ultimate format — built for the serious bar, the generous host, and anyone who never wants to run out.

The nose is pungent and assertive: bold juniper leads with notes of anise, lemon peel, and a faint white-floral touch, laced with black pepper heat. On the palate, it is clean and very flavorsome — tart, snappy spice, citrus zest, and a warming alcohol heat on the finish. Pure, crisp, and perfectly suited to many different cocktails — particularly the signature Tanqueray and Tonic.

Beefeater London Dry Gin — Distilled in London, England

Beefeater is the world's #3 premium gin — and the only international premium gin still distilled in London. Crafted at the Kennington distillery in the heart of the city since 1863, it is the benchmark London Dry: bold, juniper-forward, and unmistakably British. Master Distiller Desmond Payne, one of the most respected figures in the gin world, oversees a recipe of nine botanicals — including Seville orange peel, lemon peel, angelica root, coriander, and almonds — steeped for 24 hours before distillation to extract maximum flavor and complexity. At 47% ABV, it is built for cocktails that demand a gin with genuine presence.

Fresh and clean on the nose with a classic London Dry profile: big juniper character, bright lemon peel, and strong citrus notes. On the palate, it is bold and well-structured with flavors of lemon peel and juniper accented by white pepper, ginger, cayenne, and coriander, fading to a zingy lemon finish with a mildly sweet exit. At 47% ABV it reads with authority — ideal for drinks with dilution, where it truly shines.

Since 1830, Tanqueray has been one of the defining names in gin — a house built on precision, quality, and the art of distillation. Their classic London Dry remains a benchmark, but it is the Rangpur expression that reveals a more adventurous side: a gin that looks east for its inspiration, drawing on a rare citrus fruit from the Indian subcontinent to create something genuinely distinctive.

The Tanqueray Rangpur Gin 82.6 Proof 750ml was first created in 2006, built on Tanqueray's classic four-times-distilled London Dry base — juniper, coriander, angelica, and liquorice — and elevated with the addition of Rangpur lime, ginger, and bay leaves. The Rangpur lime is the star: a rare Indian citrus with the zestiness of lime and the juicy sweetness of mandarin orange, it brings a bold, exotic citrus character that is unlike anything in the standard gin canon. Full-bodied, smooth, and unmistakably vibrant.

The making of fruit gins has long been a tradition in the English countryside, and ours keeps true to a recipe dating back to 1883.

The Nose - A clear character of mellow sloe berries, it’s fruity with notes of sweet cherry and a slight scent of almonds

The Palate - Fruity, smooth and full-bodied, with a perfect balance of sweet and dry

The Finish - Long, fresh and fruity

A 750ml bottle of Plymouth Sloe Gin (26% abv). Sloe berries are slowly and gently steeped in Plymouth Gin, soft pure Dartmoor water and a small amount of sugar for approximately 4 months.

The sugar levels are kept low to allow the full flavour of the berries to shine and allow the dry acidity of the fruit to be an important part of the taste. The result is an entirely natural product with no added flavourings or colourings. Sloe Gin has long been enjoyed as a ’winter warmer’ in the countryside.

Boodles has been one of Britain's most quietly distinguished gins since its recipe was first developed in 1845. Distilled at the Greenall's distillery in Warrington, England, from a base of clean English wheat spirit, it is a gin that takes a deliberately different path from the citrus-forward London Drys that dominate the market — and is all the better for it.

The Boodles British Gin London Dry 1.0L is built on an approachable, herb-driven botanical blend of juniper, sage, rosemary, nutmeg, coriander, angelica root, and caraway seeds — with a deliberate omission of citrus botanicals. The result is a gin of understated elegance: mellow and herbal, with the essential piney juniper notes balanced by warm spice and fresh garden herbs. Exceptionally versatile, it shines in a classic Gin & Tonic, a Martini, or any cocktail where you want the botanicals to speak without citrus interference.

Tasting Notes
