Tanqueray No. Ten Gin (70cl, 47.3%)

Tanqueray No. Ten is a gin made in Fife, Scotland, from grain distilled four times in a small steam-heated still dating from the 1930s, known as Tiny Ten. It is bottled at 47.3% vol in a 70cl bottle. Beyond the usual Tanqueray botanicals, the recipe adds chamomile flowers, fresh linden and whole fresh citrus: Mexican limes and grapefruit, and Florida oranges. The bottle is octagonal and green, with an art deco style silver cap. The nose is intensely citrus with floral chamomile. The palate is soft and enveloping, fresh and aromatic.
