Product Description

Tanqueray London Dry Gin is produced using a “one-shot” distillation process in the renowned “Old Tom” copper pot still. Unlike many other gins that use a wide array of botanicals, Tanqueray focuses on just four key botanicals: juniper, coriander seed, angelica root, and liquorice. This simplicity and focus allow the botanicals to shine, resulting in a gin that is both bold and balanced, perfect for classic cocktails like the Negroni and Dry Martini.

FAQs

• Why is the bottle green?
  The green bottle is inspired by the 18th-century cocktail shaker, and it was designed to preserve the delicate botanical oils and flavors of the gin.

• Is it better than Bombay Sapphire?
  Tanqueray London Dry Gin is more juniper-heavy and classic, while Bombay Sapphire is lighter and more citrus-forward, making them different styles of gin suited to different preferences.

• Why is the alcohol percentage so high (47.3%)?
  Charles Tanqueray discovered that 47.3% ABV perfectly balances the oils of the four botanicals, preventing them from becoming too soapy and ensuring a cleaner, more robust flavor.
