Tanqueray No.Ten Gin
750ml
Premium Gin.
Description
Distilled in small batches with fresh whole grapefruit, oranges, limes and chamomile, Tanqueray No. TEN is an exceptional taste experience.
The only white spirit in the hall of fame at the San Francisco Spirit Awards. Over 180 years ago Charles Tanqueray decided to open a distillery in London and experimented with exquisite ingredients from all over the world. And the cherished result: Tanqueray Gin! To this day, the recipe is a secret well guarded by six people around the world. Tanqueray No. TEN was the first ever gin to be small batch distilled with fresh citrus fruit. This distillation takes place in a unique copper still called Tiny TEN. It produces a spirit known as the citrus heart which gives Tanqueray No. TEN its bright, elegant citrus taste.
Nose: Immediate and confident; rapidly gaining intensity. Warming and sweet: oily, waxy and nutty, balanced by delicate ripe orchard fruits. Then, lighter notes of an almondy fruit cake sit atop a denser layer of Christmas pudding. Behind, malty cereal notes are offset by aromatic orange. Much later: traces of brine and smoke, a little menthol and pine resin.
Palate: Dense and coating, spicy too; sweet, yet menthol- fresh. Filling and warming, with the comforting chewiness of rich fruit-bread and hints of orange zest and clove, before growing drier, still minty, with crisp green apple. Less dense and fruitier with just a little water, which allows the classic Oban fruit, malt, and maritime hints free reign until the balancing, drying spice returns.
Finish: In a word, long. Quite syrupy at first, then drying, with elegant coating tannins rich in dark chocolate character. Later, pine-fresh. At once cleansing yet chewy, with just a trace of late, slightly cedary, smoke.
