Tanqueray No. Ten Gin. Cameronbridge Distillery, Scotland — distilled with whole fresh citrus fruit and chamomile in a dedicated small still, widely considered the gold standard Martini gin.
Introduced in 2000, Tanqueray No. Ten takes the classic four-botanical Tanqueray recipe and builds on it with whole fresh citrus — grapefruit, orange, and lime — plus chamomile flowers. The key distinction is the word "whole": No. Ten uses entire fresh fruits rather than dried peel, which produces a brighter, more vibrant citrus character that dried botanicals simply can't replicate. It's distilled in a small copper still affectionately called the "Tiny Ten" at Cameronbridge, running in smaller batches than the standard Tanqueray to allow for the fresh fruit additions.
The chamomile adds a delicate floral lift that elevates the finish, giving No. Ten an elegant, almost perfumed quality that makes it particularly compelling in spirit-forward cocktails where the gin is the centerpiece. It's widely recommended as the go-to gin for a Martini by bartenders who want the gin itself to do the work.
Tasting Notes

- Palate: Crisp, clean juniper with an incredibly citrus-rich mid-palate. Hints of Earl Grey tea, cardamom, and fresh-cut orange. Smooth and slightly oily texture.
