Tanqueray London Dry Gin
London Dry Gin
Tanqueray // Scotland
Tanqueray is named after its founder, Charles Tanqueray, who established the brand in 1830. Originally distilled in London, it has been distilled in Fife, Scotland since 1998 at the Cameronbridge Distillery. Their neutral grain spirit is wheat based and made in house.
The four known botanicals for the gin are juniper, angelica root, coriander seed, and licorice root. This is distilled in a one-shot method as opposed to making a gin concentrate which needs to have neutral spirit and water added to dilute. Here, they just add enough water to bring down to proof which varies dependent on where it is sold.

Tasting Notes
"There's a big pop coriander along with the juniper and licorice which gives it a sweet note about it. The gin is fairly oily and continues on the palate what was discovered on the nose; the coriander comes in a bit stronger in the palate and the finish. There's enough acidity in the gin to balance the sweetness; thoughts on a a drink would be a standard Gin & Tonic garnished with a lemon peel."
