As in the best fairy tales with a happy ending, Tanqueray gin was born in 1830 from an act of rebellion by its founder, Charles Tanqueray: destined for a monastic life, he soon refused the priestly habit to devote himself heart and soul to his true passion, the bar. herbs. That the in-depth knowledge of herbs has, historically, to do with monastic life is a rather well-known fact, but that Tanqueray gin was born from this knowledge is a more than exceptional fact: today, Tanqueray, is one of the most appreciated gins of the world.
The bottle design is more than futuristic, as they are designed to resemble a shaker. Today the range of gins, in its classic variant, ranges from London Dry Gin, a nectar of juniper, angelica, coriander and licorice. The N ° Ten, is the most exclusive version of Tanqueray (96 pt. Wine Enthusiast). The selection is completed by Rangpur, characterized by the presence of the very rare Rangpur lime among the botanicals, a fruit of Indian origin that connotes this gin with a persistent citrus sensation of lime, and the new Flor de Sevilla, a unique distillate, made with bitter oranges of Seville and orange blossom, inspired by an original recipe by Charles Tanqueray.
