In the early 1830s, Charles Tanqueray crafted the Tanqueray Gin in a retail shop on VineStreet, Bloomsbury. The Tanqueray No Ten Gin was first released in 2000 and gets its name from the “Tiny Ten”, a small still used to produce the gin.
The recipe for Tanqueray No. 10 gin calls for the double distillation of grain. In the first phase, wheat grain is distilled with an array of fresh citruses such as Mexican limes and grapefruits in the Tiny Ten to produce the citrus spirit, called the citrus heart of No. 10. The second phase occurs in a larger vintage still and is where the select botanicals such as juniper, coriander, angelica root and liquorice are added to enhance the overall flavour.
