Given that Tanqueray epitomises the London Dry style, it comes as no surprise that it provides a crisp, dry taste. The recipe is a fiercely guarded secret, although it is thought to contain as little as four botanicals. The final spirit is bottled at 43.1% ABV in the UK, with strong juniper notes pulling through, along with a hint of spice and a dry finish. To successfully capture the story of Tanqueray as a brand would require a book, maybe even an archive, so please consider the following an abridged version of history, curated from the moments we felt were interesting.
