Hence, it’s an intimation of citrus zest— but not an imitation. I know of very few distillers who use coriander to imitate citrus; however, many will use it in concert because of the way it can amplify citrus, or add fruity floral linalool notes to a gin, or to add a spiciness to draw contrast. Coriander has many purposes in gin; however, at least in my professional experience imitation is not one of them. The marketing spiel says this is “gin, just as it should be”, and while marketing spiels are usually guff, this one happens to be spot on. It’s hard to find a gin simultaneously this archetypal – it’s a classic London Dry – this elegant, and this flavourful (the finish goes on and on). Whether you’re a G&T obsessive or martini connoisseur, No. 3 hits the mark every time. Though, for the record: we like it best with a slug of classic Indian tonic. Tanqueray is a London dry gin, reflecting its distillation process and origin in Bloomsbury, London. London dry gin is made by double distilling grain, with select botanicals added during the second distillation. While the Tanqueray recipe is a closely guarded trade secret, it is known to contain four botanicals: juniper, coriander, angelica root and liquorice, all common botanicals in gin productions overall.
Pineapples in the 1800s represented both hospitality and prosperity. They would decorate homes as designs in furniture and wares to show wealth. The two axes have some lore behind them, and many people believe it shows the family taking part in the third crusade. How To Drink Tanqueray? Tanqueray No. Ten Gin (47.3%) was introduced in 2000 and is targeted at the martini market. [7] It is distilled four times with whole fresh grapefruit, orange, lime and chamomile flowers If you’re not one for making the perfect martini using Tanqueray No. Ten, a Tom Collins is a great option to bring out the citrus. Tanquery Gin was first distilled almost 200 years ago, in 1830 by Charles Tanqueray. Over the years, it has become one of the highest-selling gins in the world. This gin also has the privilege of being a Royal Warrant Holder, appointed by Her Majesty the Queen. The Cameron Bridge Distillery is an all-in-one facility. The wheat-neutral-spirit that is the base of this gin is produced in another area of the complex. Most gin producers bring in this base through a third party. By producing the spirit themselves, it allows a greater consistency before infusing the botanicals and immediately distilling the liquor. Tanqueray starts the process immediately to avoid “stewing” the botanicals.
Today the brand is distilled at the massive Cameronbridge Distillery in Scotland and owned by Diageo. In Europe you’ll find it bottled at 43.1% ABV; in the US it’s a more assertive (and superior taste-wise in my opinion, especially for mixing) 47.3% ABV. In contrast the other gins, the botanicals are distilled immediately and not macerated prior. Secondly, it also does not use a concentrated botanical distillation which is diluted with neutral spirit after distillation. The botanical strength of the distillate is the botanical strength of the gin. Tasting Notes With such long lasting success (and it’s still among the top 6 selling gins worldwide) comes some of the perils of being seen as “default.” In recent years, Tanqueray has marketed their flagship gin as something of a hyrbid of “prestige brand” (bringing it in competition with Tanqueray’s high end Tanqueray No. 10 Gin) and a “party with your friends gin.”
Nose: Juniper is the predominant character on the nose. I find that the juniper note in Tanqueray London Dry is perhaps the most signature characteristic of it, no other gin quite has that singular juniper note. There’s an intriguing intimation of citrus zest (intriguing because citrus is not a botanical) along with candied angelica stalk and licorice.

Past offerings from Tanqueray also include both orange and lemon gins, produced from 1937 until 1957, when both were phased out. [11] No, I meant intimation. It’s not an “imitation,” a la a deliberate attempt to replicate the flavor of something although not using an ingredient. Tanqueray is a brand of gin produced by Diageo plc. It originated in London. While it does not command a sizable market share in its native market, its largest market is the United States.
