How it is made
Tanqueray Export Strength is made from a blend of four botanicals: juniper, coriander, angelica root, and liquorice. The distillation process involves using high-quality grain spirit, which is distilled in small batches to maintain the integrity of the flavors. The gin is then bottled at a higher proof, which enhances its aromatic qualities and makes it suitable for a variety of cocktails.
History
Tanqueray was founded in 1830 by Charles Tanqueray in London. The brand quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality gin, and the Export Strength variant was introduced to cater to the demand for stronger spirits. Over the years, Tanqueray has become one of the most recognized gin brands globally, known for its commitment to quality and tradition.
In cocktails
Bartenders often use Tanqueray Export Strength in cocktails that benefit from a strong gin flavor. It is ideal for classic drinks like the Gin and Tonic, Martini, and Negroni, where its boldness can stand up to other ingredients. When serving, it is best enjoyed chilled or over ice, allowing the complex flavors to unfold. Additionally, it can be garnished with citrus peels or herbs to enhance its aromatic profile.
Worth knowing
Tanqueray is one of the few gin brands that still uses a traditional pot still for distillation, which contributes to its unique flavor profile.
