Description
Tanqueray No Ten 700ml is a London dry gin made with fresh whole citrus and named after the small copper pot still known as Tiny Ten. Fresh limes, oranges and pink grapefruit go into that still with camomile flowers to make the gin’s citrus heart, which is then distilled again with juniper, coriander, angelica and liquorice. It is bottled at 47.3% ABV.

A dry martini with a grapefruit twist shows off the citrus, and it works just as well in a gin and tonic with a wedge of pink grapefruit. Serve it alongside oysters, ceviche or a citrus-dressed salad.
- Fresh citrus distilled in the Tiny Ten still
- Juniper, coriander, angelica, liquorice and camomile
- Bottled at 47.3% ABV
Grapefruit and fresh lime lead the nose, with juniper and a soft floral note from the camomile. The palate is bright and citrus-led, finishing dry with a gentle peppery warmth.
Tiny Ten began as an experimental still, used for trial runs. For No Ten it handles the first distillation of the fresh fruit, and the second and final distillation takes place in a larger vintage still known as Old Tom. The higher bottling strength helps the citrus and botanicals hold their shape when the gin is diluted in a cocktail.
A clear pick for gin drinkers who like their martinis bright and citrus-forward.
