Tanqueray - No. Ten Batch Distilled

Tanqueray No. Ten is produced at the Cameronbridge distillery in Scotland, distilled in a small copper pot still nicknamed Tiny Ten, which is the source of its name. Where the original Tanqueray London Dry is made in column stills, No.

Ten uses whole fresh botanicals rather than dried, including fresh grapefruits, oranges, and limes alongside white grapefruit, chamomile flowers, and the classic juniper, coriander, and angelica of the house recipe.

This distinction in production gives it a noticeably fresher and more floral character than standard London Dry gins. The botanicals are added in their whole, fresh state to each batch, resulting in a gin that retains citrus vibrancy and brightness in a way that dried-botanical distillation typically cannot replicate.

3% ABV, which gives it enough backbone for cocktails without being overbearing in a simple serve. No. Ten has become a benchmark for the martini in bartending communities worldwide, and it holds up equally well in a Negroni or gimlet.

For those who find conventional London Dry gins too austere or too focused on juniper at the expense of complexity, No. Ten offers a more layered and citrus-forward alternative that remains firmly rooted in the London Dry tradition. It is a reliable, well-documented gin worth keeping on the shelf.
