Tanqueray Sterling Vodka (75cl, 40%)

A quadruple-distilled wheat vodka from Tanqueray, bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml format. It earned a Double Gold Medal at the 2007 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. After four rounds of distillation, the wheat-based spirit undergoes a final redistillation in a copper pot still dating back over 220 years. The nose opens with clean mineral notes, cracked black pepper and a faint roasted brazil nut note. The palate is silky, with creamy wheat-grain body, black pepper spice, faint aniseed and liquorice, and subtle citrus brightness. The finish is robust and long, with cracked black pepper, faint charcoal and a whisper of aniseed.
