TANQUERAY

Tanqueray is a famous brand of English gin that is marketed all over the world. Although its origin is in England, nowadays it is produced in Scotland. Tanqueray is a pure "London dry" and its recipe is a well-kept secret "under lock and key" - currently only four people in the world know its secret formula - although it is known that it contains four plants (juniper, coriander, angelica root and licorice). Tanqueray Gin was initially distilled in 1830 by Charles Tanqueray in London's Bloomsbury neighborhood. The outlet for Edward & Charles Tanqueray & Co was established on Vine Street in 1838. When Charles died in 1868, his son Charles Waugh Tanqueray inherited the distillery, which continued to operate until it was severely damaged during World War II. which caused the distillery to move to Scotland. From 1951 it began to be sold in its famous green bottle, which, together with being the favorite gin in the heyday of cocktails in the United States (Frank Sinatra and Sammy Daves Júnior said it was their favorite), became one of the best-selling drinks in the world, a position it maintains to this day. To serve a Gin Tonic with Tankray, add lemon and/or orange and some peppercorns! Silver Medal - International Spirits Challenge 2016
