Product Description:
Tanqueray No. Ten is a super-premium gin crafted in small batches by Tanqueray. Named after the distillery's small copper pot still number 10 (affectionately called 'Tiny Ten'), this gin distinguishes itself through the use of whole fresh citrus fruits – specifically white grapefruit, orange, and lime – which are distilled alongside traditional botanicals like juniper, coriander, and angelica root. It also includes chamomile flowers, adding a unique floral softness. This meticulous process results in an exceptionally smooth, vibrant, and citrus-forward gin, often considered the benchmark for a perfect Martini.
Tasting Notes:
-
Nose: A bright and invigorating burst of fresh citrus zest, prominently featuring grapefruit and lime, complemented by underlying juniper and subtle, calming floral notes from the chamomile.
-
Palate: Exceptionally smooth and rounded. The initial taste is a wave of vibrant, juicy citrus – grapefruit leads, followed by zesty lime and a hint of orange sweetness. This is elegantly balanced with the crispness of juniper, a touch of coriander spice, and the delicate floral character of chamomile.
-
Finish: Long, clean, and remarkably smooth, leaving a lingering, sophisticated citrus zest and a gentle warmth.
