Description
Tanqueray Gin is made of only four botanicals: juniper, angelica roots, coriander, and licorice. The complexity of the final product is far from simple, though. The bouquet has a variety of aromas and flavors, like citrus fruit peels from lemons and/or limes. To get to this simple yet elegant formula, Charles Tanqueray tried and tested more than 300 recipes until he found the perfect one for his Gin. This long period of testing ultimately paid off: Tanqueray Gin is still produced according to the original recipe. Tanqueray Gin is a traditional London Dry Gin and is basically a double-distilled grain spirit. For the second distillation, the botanicals are added to the mix. Interestingly, the botanicals in Tanqueray are not macerated or infused into the alcoholic base. Instead, they’re distilled immediately after being added to the base spirit.
