Tanqueray London Dry Gin & Tonic is perfectly balanced and ready to serve. Tanqueray London Dry is still made today with the same combination of botanicals discovered by Charles Tanqueray in 1830, with a perfect balance of refreshing juniper, peppery coriander, aromatic angelica and sweet liquorice.
It has a classic, robust juniper taste paired with a refreshingly crisp finish from our signature tonic water, best enjoyed over ice and served with a wedge of lime. Tanqueray London Dry Gin & Tonic conveniently brings a moment of luxury to any occasion.
London dry gin is made by double distilling grain, with select botanicals added during the second distillation. While the Tanqueray recipe is a closely guarded trade secret, it is known to contain four botanicals: juniper, coriander, angelica root and liquorice, all common botanicals in gin productions overall.
Gordon’s London Dry Gin was established in 1769 by Alexander Gordon as he set out on a mission to produce a gloriously-flavoured gin worthy of carrying his family name. Gordon believed that success lay in the perfect combination of pure distilled grain spirit and rich botanicals.
To this day Gordon's is distilled to this same exacting standard and the product is triple-distilled to guarantee the purity of the gin. The exact blend of our botanicals remains a closely guarded secret with a combination of handpicked wild juniper berries, coriander, angelica and liquorice. The attention to detail results in a distinctive flavour that mixes perfectly in long drinks and cocktails.
To savour the great taste for yourself, mix a Gordon’s and tonic and garnish with lime. It's the classic long mixed drink, ideal any time, but especially good when enjoyed with friends.
It differed from others at the time in that it didn't add sugar, which made it a "dry" gin. It takes ten days' distillation after receiving the wheat to create a finished product of a bottle of Gordon's Gin.
