Tanqueray London Dry Gin (47.3%)

I prefer my gins to be juniper-bombs, and Tanqueray always delivers. I appreciate the slightly oily mouthfeel and the 47.3% gives it the ethanol kick that is needed. This is a classic neat or in a G and T, though I usually try for something that is more herbal or floral in a martini or aviation.

Pre-Distiller tasting. Very balanced botanicals behind the juniper hammer, which with oily feel mixes well classically with tonic.
