Tanqueray No Ten Gin (100cl , 47,3%)
Introduced in 2000, Tanqueray No. Ten is named after the still of its origin, pot still number 10, which is quite endearingly nicknamed Tiny Ten. The small batch gin is crafted using whole fresh citrus fruits, such as oranges, limes and grapefruit, along with chamomile flowers and other traditional botanicals. Expect a burst of citrus with every sip. Quite notably, it is also the only gin to secure a spot in the San Francisco World Spirits Competition Hall of Fame. This iconic tipple makes a mean Martini.
Tanqueray No. Ten is a super-premium, small-batch gin renowned for its vibrant, citrus-forward character and smooth finish
. It is distinct from the original Tanqueray London Dry Gin due to its use of whole fresh citrus fruits and its unique distillation process.
Key Features
- Name Origin: The gin is named after the small, 500-liter copper pot still, affectionately nicknamed “Tiny Ten,” in which the fresh botanicals are distilled.
- Botanicals: Tanqueray No. Ten uses the four classic Tanqueray botanicals (juniper, coriander, angelica, and licorice) plus whole fresh oranges, limes, pink grapefruits, and chamomile flowers. The use of whole fruits rather than just the peel is a key differentiator.
- Aromatic Profile: It offers a bright, complex aroma with prominent notes of pink grapefruit, lime zest, and subtle floral hints of chamomile, all balanced by a classic juniper backbone.
- Taste and Finish: The palate is notably smooth and full-bodied, delivering clean, tangy citrus flavors (especially grapefruit and lime) intertwined with juniper and a creamy, long-lasting finish with hints of spice.
- ABV: It has an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 47.3%.
- Awards: Tanqueray No. Ten holds the distinction of being the only gin and the first white spirit inducted into the San Francisco World Spirits Competition Hall of Fame, underscoring its reputation among bartenders and connoisseurs.
Serving Suggestions
Its refined and versatile profile makes it a bartender favorite for a variety of cocktails:
- Martini: Often considered the ideal gin for a martini, served with dry vermouth and a twist of pink grapefruit peel.
- Gin & Tonic: Best enjoyed with premium tonic water, plenty of ice, and a wedge of pink grapefruit to complement its distinct citrus heart.
- Other Cocktails: It works exceptionally well in other classic cocktails like the Tom Collins or the Negroni.
