Tanqueray No. Ten is Tanqueray’s ultra-premium expression, distilled in a small copper pot still nicknamed Tiny Ten and built around whole fresh citrus fruit rather than dried peel. Orange, lime and grapefruit are macerated and redistilled alongside juniper, coriander, angelica and chamomile flowers for a brighter, more citrus-forward profile than a standard London Dry. It was developed specifically for the Martini, and its clean citrus character holds up well in one. Buyers looking to trade up from a standard gin without losing the juniper backbone tend to reach for this.
CHARACTER
Juniper: Forward and balanced through the palate
Grapefruit: The dominant citrus note on the nose and palate
Lime: Bright zest running alongside the grapefruit
Lemon: Fresh citrus burst carried through the palate
Black Pepper: A peppery tingle in the finish
TASTING NOTES
NOSE- Subtle and crisp, led by grapefruit and bright lime zest with a clean trace of liquorice.
PALATE- Well balanced and juniper-forward, bursting with fresh grapefruit, lemon and lime alongside herbal warmth.
FINISH- Long and lingering, with citrus oil coating the tongue before a peppery tingle and a faint chamomile sweetness close it out.
