Tanqueray London Dry Gin — England 94.6 Proof

Fortune favors the brave — and in the 1830s, Charles Tanqueray was brave enough to pursue perfection. Distilling in London at a time when gin was being reinvented, Tanqueray developed a recipe of extraordinary balance and precision: four carefully selected botanicals — 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 later, Tanqueray London Dry remains one of the most awarded gins in the world and the bartender's choice for the perfect G&T. The 1.0L format is the professional's bottle — built for the bar and the home alike.

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. Very persistent, very classic, and unmistakably Tanqueray.

Small-Batch London Dry Gin | River Leven, Fife / Scotland
Size: 1.0L  |  ABV: 47.3% (94.6 Proof)  |  Double Gold — San Francisco World Spirits Competition

Tanqueray has been one of Britain’s most celebrated gin distilleries since 1830, when Charles Tanqueray began distilling in Bloomsbury, London. No. Ten represents the pinnacle of the range — a small-batch gin distilled in a unique copper pot still affectionately known as “Tiny Ten,” which gives the expression its name. Where the classic Tanqueray is built for balance and versatility, No. Ten is built for the Martini: a gin of exceptional freshness, complexity, and citrus-forward character that has made it a perennial favorite among the world’s best bartenders.

Distilled using fresh whole citrus fruits — white grapefruit, orange, and lime — alongside the classic Tanqueray botanicals of juniper, coriander, angelica root, and liquorice. The result is a full-bodied gin of remarkable aromatic intensity: bright citrus on the nose, a smooth and complex palate, and a clean, lingering finish. The definitive gin for a classic Martini, Gimlet, or G&T with pink grapefruit.

“Distilled in the ‘Tiny Ten’ copper pot still with fresh whole citrus — white grapefruit, orange and lime. Full-bodied, smooth, and complex with a clean, fresh, lingering finish.”
— Tanqueray

Botanicals: White grapefruit, orange, lime, juniper, coriander, angelica root, liquorice

Producer Description 

Orchard fruit notes are common to both Calvados and Scotch malt whisky. Many Calvados producers double-distil in pot stills, just like their Scottish cousins. Maturation in French oak is another aspect of their shared DNA.

These two spirits share richness, sweetness and complexity; the Calvados lends an intensity and length to the finish which enhances the character of the Scotch whiskies.

Serve over ice, mix with amari and vermouth into a unique twist on a boulevardier, or pair with a deliciously sweet tarte tatin. 

We think you’ll agree that these two spirits really do have an affinity for one another.
