Tanqueray No. Ten is a small-batch gin crafted in the UK and named after the tiny copper still “Tiny Ten”, where it’s distilled. Unlike most gins, No. Ten uses fresh whole citrus fruit—grapefruit, orange and lime—alongside traditional botanicals like juniper, coriander, angelica and chamomile. The result is an exceptionally smooth, citrus-forward gin with precise balance and depth. Bottled at 47.3% ABV, it’s a modern benchmark for premium gin.
Bouquet Bright and expressive. Fresh citrus peel dominates the nose, supported by floral chamomile, earthy juniper and soft herbal notes. Clean, fresh and refined.
Palate Silky, crisp and vibrant. Zesty grapefruit, lemon and orange burst on the palate, followed by soft juniper, gentle spice and a floral lift from chamomile. The mouthfeel is smooth and rounded, with a long, refreshing finish.
Food Pairing Perfect in a G&T with pink grapefruit or in citrus-led cocktails like a Martini, Southside or French 75. Pair with smoked salmon, citrus-glazed chicken, herbed goat cheese or fresh ceviche.
Cellaring Best enjoyed fresh to highlight its citrus brightness. Store upright in a cool, dark place. Once opened, will retain its character for years if well sealed.
Interesting Fact Tanqueray No. Ten was the first gin inducted into the San Francisco World Spirits Competition Hall of Fame, and remains a go-to for bartenders seeking elegance, freshness and versatility in one iconic bottle.
