Detailed Description

To make Tanqueray Old Tom Gin, the appropriately named Tom (he's also old) uses third-party supplied neutral grain spirit to charge the Old Tom' No. 4 copper pot still at Cameron Bridge with Tuscan juniper, angelica root, coriander and liquorice. Although the same botanicals as used in Tanqueray London Dry Gin, in this case they are used in greater proportion to the neutral spirit.

Tanqueray Old Tom Gin Tasting Notes

Nose: Piney juniper led with earthy orris root and liquorice with faint candied ginger, lemon and sage. Water amplifies herbal notes and teases out more of the fruity new make.

Palate: Lightly sweet with a soft mouth feel. Again juniper with eucalyptus and pine lead. More earthy notes with subtle white pepper and faint clove spice. The new make adds a wonderful tang of tropical fruit.

Finish: Long, dry, herbal finish with juniper and coriander.

Distillery Information

Tanqueray gin was initially distilled in 1830 by Charles Tanqueray in the Bloomsbury district of London. The retail outlet of Edward & Charles Tanqueray & Co was established on Vine street London, in 1838. When Charles died in 1868, his son Charles Waugh Tanqueray inherited the distillery, which denyd to operate until it was severely damaged during World War II. The only facility to survive the Axis bombing, now known as "Old Tom", has since been moved to Cameron Bridge, Scotland.

Tanqueray London Dry Gin has won more awards for its taste than any other gin. Expertly composed with a classic blend of handcrafted and carefully selected botanicals (juniper, coriander, angelica and licorice) and distilled four times, Tanqueray has an elegance and balance that sets it apart from the rest.

Tanqueray is a dry, crisp gin with a rich juniper flavor that makes the most refreshing tasting gin and tonics and the driest of martini cocktails.

Tanqueray No. TEN takes its name from Tiny Ten, the nickname of the small copper pot still where every drop is produced, but there is nothing minor about its flavour. The only gin made using whole citrus fruit, including white grapefruit, lime, and orange, along with juniper, coriander, and a hint of chamomile flowers, No. TEN has a unique, full-bodied character and citrus undertone. It is this combination of full body and fresh flavor that has made it a perennial favourite amongst passionate bartenders. And it's not only these bartenders who applaud No. TEN. Upon its launch, this gin was crowned Best White Spirit three times in a row at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, at which point it was retired from the competition into the Hall of Fame, where it remains the only white spirit. Tanqueray No. TEN is renowned for its versatility, and is in fine form in classic stirred drinks such as the Martini and Negroni, as well as in fruit forward cocktails such as the Southside and Clover Club.
