Tanqueray Gin Premium London Dry Gin England 70 cl 43,1%

Charles Tanqueray was the son and grandson of clergymen, but in 1830 he traded the church for the still. After more than 300 trials, he landed on a recipe with just four botanicals, a formula still used unchanged today.

Expert's description

Tanqueray London Dry Gin is an English London Dry Gin distilled to an 1830 recipe and bottled at 43.1%.

Charles Tanqueray founded his distillery in Bloomsbury, London, in 1830 and, together with his brother Edward, established Edward & Charles Tanqueray & Co on Vine Street.

Where many other gins are built on a dozen botanicals or more, Tanqueray sticks to just four: juniper, coriander seed, angelica root and liquorice, a minimalist approach that has defined the gin's clean, juniper-driven character since 1830.

The simple recipe has made Tanqueray one of the best-selling and most widely used gins in cocktail bars around the world, where its distinct juniper profile serves as a reliable foundation in classic cocktails.
