Tanqueray Gin 70cl

First created by a man called Charles Tanqueray back in 1830, Tanqueray is made today according to the classic recipe first developed nearly 200 years ago. Bottled in its famous green, oddly shaped bottle, Tanqueray’s flavours are as wild as the bottle’s appearance. Dry and freshly tasting, Tanqueray contains as little as 4 botanicals to create as pure of a gin as possible, whilst sticking to the recipe which it has to thank for its fame. Bottled at a hefty 47.3%, Tanqueray packs a punch whilst delivering gorgeous juniper berries and spicy notes.

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 continued 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 is a London dry gin; it is so called because of its distillation process, as well as originating in Bloomsbury, London. London dry gin is made by means of double distillation of grain. Botanicals are added during the second distillation. The recipe is a closely guarded trade secret, although it is known to contain four botanicals (juniper, coriander, angelica root and liquorice).
