Tanqueray London Dry Gin is a balanced, multi-layered combination of botanicals. A four step distillation process is involved in the making of Tanqueray London Dry Gin. The only flavours you will get after the distillation are those of the botanicals and you should get no flavour from the neutral spirit, only strength.

Tanqueray London Dry Gin has a flavour that shines through in sophisticated cocktails and vibrant gin and tonics.

ABV: 47.3%

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 liquorice.

Taste: The palate begins with juniper, but finishes with rich hints of baking spice including angelica root, cinnamon and coriander seed. The finish on the palate captures angelica/coriander in a way that suggests that top note of Bombay Sapphire to me.

Finish: Long and slightly warm, mostly spice-forward on the finish.

Ideal mixer: Classic tonic

Recommended garnish: Lime wedges

Ideal serve: A Tanqueray & Tonic with two lime wedges
