Description
Four Botanicals, and Nothing Else
Charles Tanqueray settled on his recipe in the 1830s and nobody has found a compelling reason to change it since. Juniper, coriander, angelica root and liquorice — quadruple-distilled, and that is the whole list.
In a category that has spent two decades adding cucumber, rose petals and violet, the restraint is the point. A gin with twelve botanicals fights whatever you mix it with. Four, balanced properly, disappear into a drink and hold it together — which is why this remains the working bartender's gin.
Product Highlights

Tasting Notes

- Palate: Crisp and peppery, coriander warmth, a clean liquorice sweetness underneath
- Finish: Dry, long, faintly herbal
How to Serve
The gin and tonic it was built for: heavy ice, a good tonic, a lime wedge — not lemon. It is also the correct gin for a Negroni, where its backbone stands up to Campari and sweet vermouth instead of vanishing beneath them. For a dry martini it gives you juniper structure softer contemporary gins cannot.
Perfect For

- Bars and restaurants needing a dependable pour
- Wholesale and bulk buyers
Food Pairing
- Kinilaw and ceviche — juniper and citrus against the acidity.
- Grilled seafood and inihaw na isda.
- Fresh lumpia and light appetisers.

Questions
Is Tanqueray a good beginner's gin?
Yes, though it is a proper juniper-led gin rather than a soft floral one. If you have only tried sweeter contemporary gins this will taste drier. Most people acclimatise within a drink or two, and it makes everything else make more sense.
What is the difference between this and No. TEN?
Different gins, not different grades. London Dry uses four botanicals and is built for mixing. No. TEN adds whole fresh citrus and chamomile and is built for martinis.
