Tanqueray Gin

The history

The origin of Tanqueray Gin

The story of Tanqueray begins in 1830, when the visionary Charles Tanqueray founded his own distillery in the Bloomsbury district of London. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Tanqueray experimented with exotic botanicals and developed the recipe that is still used today with juniper, coriander, angelica root and licorice - an innovation that quickly attracted attention.

His gin was not only well received in England, but was soon exported internationally. After Charles' death, his son took over the company and continued to run it successfully. The brand even survived the bombing of London during the Second World War, during which only one still - “Old Tom” - remained intact. This is still in use today and is symbolic of Tanqueray's heritage and durability.

Tanqueray Gin pursues a philosophy of quality and authenticity. The brand attaches great importance to retaining the traditional recipe and the original production processes.

Traditional methods and carefully selected botanicals

Tanqueray Gin is created using a complex process in which the original recipe, which is over 180 years old, has remained unchanged to this day. Distillation takes place in traditional copper stills, which allow precise control and ensure the purity of the gin. Typical of Tanqueray is the quadruple distillation, which ensures particular clarity and subtlety of flavor.

The selected botanicals - including juniper, coriander, angelica root and licorice - are processed in a secret maceration process to bring out their natural aromas to the full. The result is a London Dry Gin with unmistakable spice, exceptional balance and consistent premium quality.
