Tasting Notes

Nose

A striking departure from the original. Fresh grapefruit peel dominates the opening — vivid, zesty, almost effervescent. Behind it, orange and lime lend a rounded citrus complexity, while chamomile introduces a delicate, hay-like floral note. The juniper is present but softened, sitting in a supporting role for perhaps the first time in Tanqueray history.

Palate

Silky and elegant, with the same full-bodied weight one expects from the 47.3% ABV. The fresh citrus fruits — grapefruit most prominently — bring a juicy, almost succulent quality to the mid-palate. Juniper reasserts itself here, providing necessary structure, while chamomile adds a gentle bitterness reminiscent of dried flowers. The coriander and angelica from the base recipe remain, lending warmth and dry earthiness respectively.

Finish

Medium-long, with lingering grapefruit zest and a gentle chamomile bitterness. The juniper emerges more clearly in the fade, reclaiming its place as the final note. There is an almost tea-like dryness at the very end — subtle, sophisticated, and thoroughly satisfying.

8/10

There's a reason No. Ten is a bartender favourite. The fresh grapefruit peel, juniper, coriander, angelica, and liquorice create a harmonious and versatile gin. 47.3% is the perfect strength.

9/10

The fresh grapefruit peel dominates the nose beautifully, giving way to silky citrus on the palate. At 47.3% ABV it has the weight to match the complexity. Chamomile bitterness on the finish is a lovely touch.

8/10

The fresh citrus approach really works here. You get vivid grapefruit on the nose, silky texture on the palate, and gentle chamomile bitterness on the finish. A proper premium London Dry.
