Review: Tanqueray Gin
Posted by Arctic Wolf on October 1, 2013
Tanqueray Gin was originally produced by Charles Tanqueray in London, England in 1830 at the Bloomsbury Distillery. The distillery prospered through the nineteenth century; but after being in production for over one hundred years, it was badly damaged in the bombing raids of World War II by the German air force. One still survived, and this still affectionately called “Old Tom” was moved to the new facilities in Cameron, Scotland where Tanqueray gin is currently produced.
Tanqueray Gin, is a London Dry Gin distilled four times with the botanicals infused prior to the fourth distillation . According to the Tanqueray website, juniper, coriander, angelica root and licorice are the four major botanicals used in the gin’s construction. Tanqueray is bottled at different proofs for different regional markets. As I live in Canada, the bottling proof of my sample bottle is 40 % alcohol by volume.

Just found your site when looking at rum reviews on Google. So excited to see your wealth of information on rum, and that you also review gin!
I’m new to the rum game (other than the occasional Kraken Dark and Stormy) after discovering Zaya on recommendation as a easy sipping spirit.
I’ve always been a gin-cocktail lover, but have a new appreciation for sipping rums. I look forward to browsing the site to hopefully learn where to go from Zaya!
