Tanqueray Gin was initially distilled in 1830 by Charles Tanqueray, who was descended from three generations of clergy from the village of Tingrith in Bedfordshire. At 20 he chose not to follow the family calling and established a distillery in the Bloomsbury district of London instead. During World War II the distillery was almost completely destroyed. After the great air raid of 1941 only one of the stills, known as "Old Tom," survived and it is still in use today at the distillery in Cameronbridge, Scotland. No. 10 launched in 2000, at which time it was considered a bold departure from the distillery’s standard; twenty years later, it endures as a staple behind the bar for its versatility in cocktails and its balanced, relatively classic juniper-led palate. It features only eight botanicals but adds four new ones to the traditional Tanqueray formula; fresh chamomile flowers and three kinds of whole citrus.
